Hi everyone,
I am graduated bachelor degree in general management and master degree in information technology, both of them from Thailand. I moved here to New York more than 10 years ago with my wife and have been working in Thai restaurant ever since. Right now I get paid about 60K a year after tax.
Now we have 18 months old son and restaurant work take so much time away from my family. I’m thinking that I need to change to some other career that meaningful to me and my family not just working in the restaurant for my whole life.
I am good at number and very organized, and I use to study some part of accounting back in my bachelor degree, which I did great. That why I think accounting work would fit me and if possible I would aiming for CPA.
But the problem is I’m not sure how to get start on this, I know that I need to go study about accounting more but which school would fit me. I’m thinking to study online because I still have to work to support my family in the same time.
And how is work life for entry level accounting at age 37 and also where is the best place to get start? Also about income, How much is it around? I’m the only source of income for my family.
If anyone could give me some advise I will be very appreciate. Thank you in advance.
you see like the perfect candidate for an actuary. You might need to take college courses for the CPA, but to be an actuary you just need to pass the exams. I don’t know too much about the CPA, but if you like math and are willing to study a lot, then maybe actuarial science is something you want to look into.
