[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Degree in accounting would only take four years, she could start at community college, and she'd earn good money. [/quote]

She likes to work with children and you suggest accounting? Yes, she will get a job and be paid well, but why would you suggest this? I write this as someone with 15 years at a big 4.

Op, what about one of the therapy areas? Speech, physical, occupational, etc? She could specialize in pediatrics. She could work in a school, hospital, private practice or do her own consulting. [/quote]

I suggested it because working with children is not going to be lucrative. A degree in accounting can be done in four years and would earn her a good salary, unlike being a teacher. She can babysit her way through college. [/quote]

Most states now require 150 hours of education for your CPA, which means a masters degree. And, OP didn't say lucrative, s/he said a career presumably that she'd enjoy based on her demonstrated interests (children). [/quote]
