Accounting? - HonuDiver - 09-04-2025
Hello all!
I have been doing Sophia and Study.com in hopes to go to WGUs prelicensure program. I am currently in a steady job and making 60K a year. This year I worked for Turbo Tax Live. I really enjoyed it. I am in the midst of a separation and desperately need a job. It's a situation where I have to keep my babies safe. I am freaking out. Today my job announced that it is changing the proceedings tremendously which means way more time away from my family. I need a new career path ASAP. I was looking at UMPIs accounting program. But I know that they just changed everything and it's more difficult to get done ASAP. I have even considered a different degree. I need something where I can work from home - so maybe something like management? I need something where I can be home and something quick.
I have the following courses completed:
Ancient Greek Philosophers
Art History II
English Comp I
Environmental Science
Intro to Business
Intro to Chem
Intro to Ethics
Intro to Nutrition
Lifespan Development
Macroeconomics
Microeconomics
Visual Communications
Study.com
A&PII
Chem 111L
Com 101
Psychology 101
Bio 201L
Psychology 102
Biology 106
Thank you so much!
I would like to go on to become a CPA for clarification.

I am sorry you're in a situation where you need to keep your babies safe. I can see why you're in need of rush. I am sure there are people here who can tell you about all the programs that you can complete quicker. As far as jobs are concerned, it's hard out there. Finding a job that pays well and is wfh might difficult it today's economy. There have been a ton of layoffs all over the country so there is going to be some competition. I suggest looking over your resume and make any updates that are needed.
