I've set some goals now that I'm beginning my life as an independent and the one that I'm shooting for right at the moment is attaining my CPA license before I turn 25. I am 23 now so I've got around 2 years before I'm going to make myself get it. Here is my plan...
I'm starting my job in January, but I'll order some official transcripts online after I consult my university's registrar about it. I'll also submit an application for taking the CPA exam for the first time -- after I get some ideas about where to start and what to use. I would like to use the Becker, but I'm always open for more inexpensive and effective methods of studying.
Once I get my transcripts, I plan on mailing a copy to my jurisdiction in California and wait to see if I get approved. When I get the "OK," I'll officially begin studying for the exam and hopefully sit for at least 2 sections towards the end of this year when work gets less busy. I'd like to pass a few sections and then finish up studying early the year after so I can get my license by my 25th birthday.
If I get my license before I'm 25, I'll be so happy. If not then 26 isn't too bad... I just would like to be able to return home with my license in hand so my parents will be happy.
