Which is about to easily get wiped out by AI.

I don’t think so. AI is not close to being able to do partnership returns, corporate returns, tax planning for a business, or an host of other things a good CPA can do. AI isn’t close to being about to do even basic reconciliation in quickbooks. It’s nearly impossible to find a competent bookkeeper at all. The big payroll providers make mistakes left and right. That wouldn’t be happening if AI was as amazing as they say.

AI couldn’t even correctly calculate my RIF severance 😂

She has people in her class that have other degrees, and they are doing a bridge program that includes the 6 GAAP required courses plus the MAcc courses. It can be done in 18-24 months. That will get you on your way to be CPA eligible.

Can you name the programs for both bridge and masters? In-person or online?

You can google it, there's a lot of programs offered both in person and online.
Michigan State and Boise State are 2 that are mentioned a lot. ASU has a good program, I think they offer both online and in person options.

That's one of the positive outcomes in my opinion. Private schools locally will tank, there are too many anyhow, and when you have educated parents reinvolved with public schools they will flourish.

Plus, super easy to become a substitute teacher to make a least part of the money to pay bills.

I agree. Less privates = better education.

I agree that better education would be great, if only so more people understand the proper usage of "less" versus "fewer."

I’m pretty sure the privates will flourish, as all education control will be up to the states. They won’t want to increase taxes, so the public schools will get crappier for poor kids and rich families will send their kids to private. To get the same education that they now get through public schools.

The whole country will just go backwards.
