I'm done with it.
I'll fly to my hearts content on the side, but even my one stay in the regionals set me back about 2 years of solid professional development as a CPA. I don't have any regrets for having done it because it was a path I needed to see for myself, but I'm stoked about rejoining my original career path and opening my own practice after several years.
I'm inside of 2 months from being a CPA now.
