I’m thinking of doing a post-bachelors accounting certification and getting my CPA.
I was originally planning to study in California so that I could attak 2 birds with 1 stone. As in, I’d get to explore the state while studying.
After doing some research I found that in California it seems people, and also recruiters, are very biased based on the names of the school you went to.
I would be going to some state school, because of the cost. I’m wondering if it’s better to just get my education somewhere in Canada instead, just because of the cost?
Another thing I am worried about is finding a placement, since to get the designation I will need work experience, and the job market in Canada is really bad (and i’m not sure if it’s much better in California).
My goal would be to eventually work in California, but I am starting to wonder how feasible this idea will be, lol
I would say visit before you make any commitments. It’s a pretty big state so see what’s there!
It would cost me about 20k to visit lol
How…? You can get pretty much anywhere in the world for WAY less than that.
To actually explore the state, as opposed to just arriving. Best way would be through a car rental.
If that’s an issue I suggest you take a look at tuition for non residents.
And even more if you decide to go and hate it and leave after a semester.
If money is an issue why would you go study in the US when you have access to much cheaper education in Canada?
Because it could have benefits?
