Was studying for the CPA and am not leaving due to being unable to pass. More so that I just genuinely found something I like better. I began working on my second degree and am enjoying it so much more. I just feel sad because although I’m leaving accounting the fact that I’m not going to be a cpa, something I obsessed about for so long, is not going to happen. Have any of you all left mid journey and had a similar feeling? I feel like it would be such a waste of time to just get the cpa only to leave anyways. So much effort just for a license I won’t use.

Just curious how you manage the plant based lifestyle with weighlifting.

I tried before but was not recovering since I wasn't eating enough.

Trying to figure out how to mix both worlds in an easy manner.

Without me explaining a long story, I do...

It's caused me to be angrier and more prone to arguments that affected relationships. It made me lash out at something that should not have been a big deal.

It affected my memory and negatively impacted my studying in school. Made me forget a lot, due to taking 800-1,000 mg per day.

Negatively affected my sleep quality; making me feel dead tired and literally have no energy to get out of bed. I even stopped exercising since I was so tired.

My brain started working too fast and my mouth couldn't keep up, making me look like a maniac when speaking to people.

Psychotically overanalyzing every single circumstance and having an existential crisis every day about family/life/careers.

Not to mention urinating like a racehorse and getting super dehydrated.

I want to make a lot of major improvements in my life, and I do not think any of them can be accomplished till I tackle my caffeine problem. I hate how people undermine it and don't take it seriously. There were a few days I didn't have coffee and went to work and noticed how psychopathic people were acting.

I have some weird theory that most people abuse caffeine to tolerate shitty jobs, but that's just me.

Your experiences?

One of Texas’s requirements is that a CPA signs off on your work experience.

In my current role, nobody is a CPA. I would have to leave my job to fulfill this requirement. For many reasons, I’d prefer to stay at my current job.

I was thinking that there are some states where your manager signing off doesn’t have to be a CPA.

Would it work for me to get licensed in that state then reciprocally transfer my license to Texas? Or would I run into issues?

This is all hypothetical as I haven’t even taken the exam.

I’m stuck in accounts payable and want to get into a higher paying role.

Was considering my local uni but WGU sounds like a good fit for the price point.

What was your experience?

Everyone tells me MBA is not worth it for me but I have a bachelors in accounting and have been unable to scale up in my current role nor get higher paying opportunities when I apply elsewhere. I don’t wanna be stuck at sub 50k salary forever.

Your thoughts on the quality of the program and if it’s a fit for me?

At least this time it’s not a divorce, but rather a breakup. I finally noticed a trend though:

1. Find someone who shows a lot of interest in me.

2. Start thinking she may be “different”.

3. Weeks/months go by and suddenly hit by surprise: “I want to work on myself.”

This last one was a shocker. I didn’t suspect she’d do this. We virtually had no argument/drama. Just randomly started and claims I shouldn’t think she’s up to no good. Not that I suggested it.

At this point my “love life” if you want to call it that has been absolutely comical. At least we weren’t married.

The fact that I yet again found another woman whose mother is 24/7 dictating her life is pretty wild.

Sick and tired of being alone but it genuinely feels like they literally are “all the same.”
