Veeky Forums I was a fucking loser who graduated at 24 with a shitty GPA in accounting. I couldn't get a job because of the economy for two years because of the economy, and couldn't pass the CPA exams because of stress. If I were to pass the CPA exams now being almost 30 would I even be considered at a decent CPA firm? I don't have any accounting experience besides a handful of individual tax returns. And if you must know, I've been working a low paying meh job (there's things about it that keep me sticking around) for over a year and I payed my debt off. I could easily study with my job and actually have funds to pay for it with out going into debt.

CPA here.
what firm do you think is going to hire you?
there are a thousand kids graduating college this year. I can go and hire any of them. Many of them have already passed sections of the exam.
I don't care that you pass the CPA exam, you've been hauling bricks or whatever for 8 years. Passing the CPA exam doesn't mean a firm will hire you.

Was he always in accounting and recently decided to go for the CPA or he just starting his career later too? This makes a difference because if he was already 'in' that says a lot about if it's going to be worth it or not for me. I hear it's still super competitive and having the exams passed aren't necessarily a golden ticket anymore.

What are you looking for then? What if I provide very tangible evidence (outside of having the exams passed) that I'm extremely adaptable and learn very quickly? If the entire public accounting profession has been reduced to a pump and dump new hires scheme I'd rather pass altogether if you're implying that's the current situation.

Why not get CPA, work at some shitty firm, doing people's taxes on the side, and then open your own practice in 2-3 years?

Yeah, it's still a thing. This is board is fucking cancer.

I should add. I passed on the sections and was scoring 70-74 (need 75) on another. I ran out of funds and had no will to keep going at that point. I'm not a complete fucking idiot.
