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
To actually explore the state, as opposed to just arriving. Best way would be through a car rental.
Coming from someone who grew up in the Bay Area and went to college in Los Angeles: are you trying to go on walkabout, or are you checking out a place to go to college? You gotta pick one.
I’ve never seen large swaths of the state. It’s geographically comparable to the size of Japan, except rather less mountainous. For university, focus on the MSA that you’ll be based in. Exploring places super far from where you’re actually going to be just seems silly and financially wasteful (I’m assuming that’s a consideration).
