    Passing the CPA exams is when you study hard, if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself a help like Mr Dylan.

    I don’t know how honestly you can answer this since your company might see, but if you could go back in time, would you still choose accounting? Do you see a long term financial gain from this career? Or just getting by?

    They were company specific leadership conferences. So you would apply to them freshman/sophomore year like an internship but the conference is only for 2-3 days and they typically give you an internship offer after. Its also a great resume booster to apply for internships the following year
