As a person working in Accounting without an Accounting degree I can say that it is truly a profession for people with great attention to detail.  It is not really a job for someone who thrives on interaction with others, because so much of the work involves just quietly sitting at your desk plugging away on Excel spreadsheets and accounting software.\n\nI was never a math whiz, but accounting doesn't require math  wizardry, just an understanding of basic concepts (debit/credit, etc) and an eye for detail.\n\nThe good thing is, if you have those qualities you will always have a job because every business needs an accountant.

Finance and accounting are excellent majors...my boss has advised me that if I'm thinking of going back to school, anything that deals with finances is a good degree as after the Enron scandal, etc., companies now place a great degree of value on their financial records and dealings.

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.

Bookkeeping.  If you're good at it, you're a much better company than a larger bookkeeping firm, because you can give businesses personal assurance.  Businesses like to have a one-on-one relationship with their bookkeeper, and you'd be able to provide that.\n\nYou probably don't need any kind of college degree, though you'd almost certainly want to take classes on it.  And it would be much easier for you if you got a CPA.  Not because it's necessary, but it's easier to get clients that way.  They'll trust you more if you're a CPA and it'll be easier to get new business.  Plus, it's just cool to be able to call yourself a CPA.\n\nBesides computer software and printing supplies, there are almost no expenses.  And if you're intelligent, it's fairly easy and you can make decent money.  The website I linked to below could help you with this kind of stuff, though I've never taken any of their classes and don't know if they're any good.\n\nAnyway, if you really want a decent at-home business, this is it.  That's what I do, and I like it a lot.  I'd rather not work at all, but this beats digging ditches.  And I get to sleep late.

Hola - Licenciado en contabilidad sería 'Degree in Accountancy' y Licenciado en Derecho sería 'Degree in Law', pero cuidado con el uso - la palabra 'degree' es un sustantivo que significa 'licenciatura'. El verbo 'licenciarse' que en inglés sería 'to graduate' se usa más para la ceremonia de terminar el curso en la universidad. No se puede decir 'I am graduated in ...' . Si quieres decir que estás licenciada en contabilidad, por ejemplo, dirías 'I have a degree in Accountancy' (mayúscula porque es una asignatura y todas llevan mayúscula en inglés). Espero que este sea una respuesta adecuada.

Locate the accounting firm that you want to work for and ask them what educational requirements they require.\n\nYou may be surprised to learn that they only require a High School Diploma or GED.  The reason for this is that they have in-house programs and would prefer to train you on their systems, rather than have you educated by someone else then have to spend months reprogramming you to how it is done in THEIR company.

Most of the better MBA programs prefer you to have a few years' work experience before starting the program.  Two or three years ought to be enough.  With an accounting degree today, that shouldn't be a problem, because the job market for accountants is better than ever today.  I'd recommend taking a job for a few years and then go back for the MBA later.

Contact the state board of accountancy for the state you live in or want to be certified in.\n\ngood luck!

I think a degree in Business Management would be better.  A class in finance and econ wouldnt hurt, but focusing on either of those wouldnt help in real estate.  The best way to find out is to talk to an advisor at the univeristy.  They'll know the best way to go for what u want to do.  good luck

My daughter did accounting online and has a great job because of it. It was done on her free time at home and while at work on lunch. She finished the course in record time so she was able to use the degree quickly. It was worth the money.\n\nNow, if the lessons needed hands on, then it would be a problem. Make sure your chosen profession doesn't require hands on learning or if it does, try and get an apprentice job in that field because most companies look to your work history as well as education.
