How are the graduate accounting classes going?
Guess I should mention I am an Accounting and Aviation Management major at the moment. I have been kicking around the idea of dropping the aviation, but its an easy GPA booster and dont have many classes left for that degree.
Its going well. I am enjoying the pursuit. But, honestly, I have yet to determine if I can actually DO this for a living again. My goal is to open my own firm in a few years and I think that once I arrive at that point, it will all be worth it.
After this term, I need 3 more classes (only 1 accounting) to hit the 150 hours. I am ordering my Gleim books in a few weeks so that I can hit the ground running on studying for the REG and BEC sections. My goal is to have both of those parts completed and passed by the end of the testing window in Aug.
I am still flying on the side. I have two active students who are both weekend warriors. So, I am averaging 3-4 hours per week of flying. Not great, but enough to keep me "connected" for now.
I just might look into some sort of business aviation position in the future. Maybe I can combine these efforts into something that gives me the best of both.
Or maybe it'll be back to the airlines in due time. I am still low time compared to many of the guys out there, but with 1000 hours 121 experience and nearly 2000 total, and the CPA in my back pocket, I imagine I can get a job somewhere should I desire it going forth....
