Sure. You can start any business without a formal education. It may not be a glamorous business but I know a guy that started mowing laws at 17 when he quit school and now owns a multi million dollar business that employees over 600 people doing the exact same thing only on a larger scale. he no longer pushes a mower he pushes a pencil and only had a 10th grade education.\nI have met a lot of college educated people in my life that didn't have sense enough to pour urine out of a boot with  directions on the bottom of it.\nMy point being an education does not make you wealthy. hard work and dedication combined with motivation do.\nGood Luck, you can do anything if you apply yourself!!

You do not need a college degree to open or "direct" a preschool.  Your teachers may be another story - most states require teachers of preschool to either have their standard certification or CDA classes from a junior college.  (That is if you are trying to get state accredited.)\n\nAs a director, a college degree looks more appealing to banks (for loans if you need them) and to parents who are concerned with how a center is run.

Somewhat they would like you to purchase the book as well.\nThe Deans list for college is a better list. You dont need it unless you need validation for your accomplishment, but as a college student (on the deans list) your already on track. \nGood Luck

No, the ACCA is a certificate given to people who have completed certain coursework which allows them to work a s a certified accountant. It is not a degree really.

Any meaningful business degree will require the maximum amount of math and expert knowledge of written and spoken English, grammar and style. You will have to crunch the numbers. You will have to write reports and deliver oral presentations. If you slip up on any of these things, you won't be making much for very long.

Heavens, no!  Once you've earned your degree, it's yours.  Whether or not you're certified has no bearing on your degree.\n\nAnd CPA is not the only certification.  There's the CMA, CFM, CIA, and CFP just to name a few.\n\nDon't let the CPA exam be your only direction.

in the US an accounting degree generally takes 4 years.  There are some places that might offer schedules you could accelerate to do it in 3.  There are many schools that offer part-time programs that will take longer if you are not transferring credits.

You should go to college just to have your degree as a back up.  There is no guarantee your nightclub will be a success or even open.  \nYou should study business administration, accounting, business law, business management, office administration, business marketing, operations management, organizational management, project management, technology management, Human Resource &/ or finance.  This would give you a strong background on how a business runs, how it should be run, laws, your rights as an employer, how to be in charge of a staff, what rights the person for you has, budgets, what resources are out there to help you, etc.  You would have your very important degree while still focusing on your desire to own and run a nightclub.\n\nCongratulations on knowing what you want to do and Good luck!

No.  There are ways to get some college credit for life experience, but not a complete degree (other than an honorary one).

There are two ways to become an accountant either though training or though an accounts degree.\n\nYour first step would be to do an accountant techcians course such as CAT.  Then you can either do a degree and be a qualified but not a chartered accountant or do the ACCA or CIMA.\n\ni have finished the irish version of the accounting technicans course and it took me 2 years to complete the exams and i am currently working my way towards the required 2 years work experience before i can become a member.  The techicans exams allow you to skip the first year of any accountancy degree and the professional exams.  Definately worth doing.  \n\nTry these websites for more information:\n\nhttp://www.acca.co.uk/\nwww.cimaglobal.com/\nwww.iati.ie\n\nHope you find what you are looking for.\n\nxx

Actually, it is a certified profession and I believe that you would need to be a Certified Financial Planner CFP.   You can google it get more information.  There are degree programs, but I don't think a specific degree is required, but you do have to have to pass a series of tests.

No -- you don't need an associate's degree.  It is an irrelevent degree.  It merely means that you completed two years at a school that doesn't grant four year degrees.  If you spend two years at the worst community college in the country, you can get an AA.  If you spend two years at Harvard getting a 4.0 then leave -- you don't get a degree -- you are called a college dropout.\n\nMost students who get a BA or BS do not get an associate's degree first.\n\nTransfer as soon as possible.  Good luck.

Yes, it is definitely possible to have a nice life without a college degree.  A lot of successful people start their own businesses without it.  If you want to work for somebody, I would recommend getting a degree.  Without it, you will not get far in corporate America.  If you wouldn't mind starting your own business or something like that, you definitely don't need a degree.  Good luck with everything.

You can always get a job in the academic world being a teacher or sub, and can teach in college if you further your degree. Something besides that would be something along the lines of working and compiling statistics, research in math (disproving current theories, making your own theories, coming up with new ways to solve things, etc. but technically need a doctrate in math for that), or system analyst. I would think going into accounting would be pointless with your degree especially if you're smart and can a lot of things.
