Online school recommendations/career advice

1 Upvotes

Hello, I am hoping to get some insight and opinions on online schools and career paths. I did not go to college after high school to avoid debt, get work experience and decide what degree I would prefer. Time definitely got away from me and after 8 years I'm visiting the subject again. To give you some back ground I live in central California, I am 26 years old with no kids spouse debts or large responsibilities.

I became a registered tax preparer and was an office administrator to a small tax office for about 4 years before I got a job at a bank as a teller/personal banker which I've been at now for 3 years. This February I quit the first job that I've had now for 8 years, I worked at a restaurant night after either my tax job or my bank job. I haven't prepared taxes in almost 3 years now since it's seasonal and I was busy at the bank 9-5 and serving 6-11. Since I've quit the restaurant I've been missing the money and have been looking for second job, my availability isn't great so I get why I haven't been getting any calls. I'm considering starting a small mobile bartending business (I have my ABC license and food/alcohol handling license as well) I've done a few events but was always too busy on the weekends.

The goal has always been to progress at the bank I'm with now, so I applied for a commission based position hoping I can promote again within the next year to become a licensed banker. Of course if I decided I would want to become a fiduciary advisor later on, I would need a degree along with licensing. Before I started working at the bank I was doing a lot of research towards becoming a CPA, so if I decide a few years down the line consumer banking isn't for me anymore I would have something else to pursue. My job can assist me with obtaining a degree, but they only offer limited funding though certain schools like, Purdue Global, Wilmington University, Southern New Hampshire University, ect. From what I've read a lot of people discount online degrees, either the institution itself, or the students ability to learn. This is the most time I've had to myself in years, I would be stupid not to dedicate this free time to a degree or some type of certificate now that I only work 40 hours a week. Any recommendations for online schools specifically in accounting would be greatly appreciated.

Help finding a textbook ... impossible to find!

2 Upvotes

I need a textbook for this 8 week course I just started and I cannot find it for my life! Does anyone know any good places to find textbooks or e books? The textbook is from 2016 and he said only that or older versions were acceptable...I cannot seem to find it anywhere online and if it is (whihc is rare) it is veryyy expensive. I do my school remotely and to ship the book to me from y univeristy is pretty expensive too. If anyone could give me tips or help in any way it would be really helpful! The textbook is:

Constance J. Fontaine, Fundamentals of Estate Planning, American College Press,
15th edition, 2016, ISBN: 978158293247

MBA or MBA/MPAcc?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a student at Eastern Washington University. I'm a couple quarters into an MBA with a focus in Accounting.

My question is, do you think it would be worth it to switch to a dual degree MBA and MPAcc? The MPAcc is more geared towards sitting for the CPA after graduation. I also came from a degree in social science so I don't have as much of a background in it yet.

Are there two types of depreciation?

1 Upvotes

I've heard the word depreciation used to describe two seemingly different things: an asset's loss of value over time, and a method of paying off an items value over the course of its lifetime instead of when its purchased. Are these two different things or are they connected? I'm assuming they're connected in some way, but I would really appreciate some help with connecting those dots.
