    Definitely agree with your comment on the CPA. Although it might not be a requirement in industry, it definitely sets you apart and is noted as required or preferred on higher level job postings. That’s why I decided to get it as well.
    Love your videos!

    Thanks for sharing! I have a Bachelors degree in Accounting and used to be an accounting clerk at a logistics company. I wanted to be a staff accountant but there was no room in the company for another one during the 4 years I worked there. I then had to quit working due to severe chronic migraines. I definitely miss being an accountant sometimes because I loved my job. Best wishes and I enjoy watching your videos!

And I always say: this is going to sound funny to you... but I was inspired because of Sara Marie. And I go on and talk about you and your channel and all your accomplishments in about 2 mins.

    I work for a mid-size property and casualty insurance company in their corporate accounting department as an entry level accounting technician. When I graduate with my bachelors in accounting in December, I’m going to be promoted to an accountant. I’ve worked there for 3.5 years and I’ve been told not to do the CPA or get my MBA because our company doesn’t require it for promotions. Not only that, they don’t help you financially. They will only help with tuition reimbursement for undergrad degrees. This is a major disappointment to me as I really want to be a CPA. 😔

    Hi Sara! I hope all is well I also work at an insurance company. I have my bachelors degree in communications so I am not in our accounting department however my company does pay for a majority of higher education. I was hoping to get a more direct scope for my masters and was leaning to accounting or finance since math was always my favorite. I was wondering if you had any advice on going into one of those masters with a different bachelors degree and if you think it would be possible to move into the accounting department in my current company or if I would have to leave because I really do love the company. Thank you!

    Hi Sara, I love your videos and have found them very interesting. I am thinking of going back to get my accounting degree when my son goes to pre k in a year. However, I will be 39 next month and have been told that it's kind of late to be trying to get a degree in accounting because I would be about 44 when I graduate and would have problems finding employment. I would like to know how you feel about this or maybe seen this happen in accounting. Also would it even be worth it at my age? Would really appreciate your opinion.

    All CPAs are accountants but not all accountants are CPAs. If you are in NYC, CPA and master's degree are not uncommon for young accountants. So, non-CPA applicants have a very slim chance to secure accounting jobs there.
