[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure how all these postings about big 4 consulting are going to be to the OP. Unfortunately, those firms almost exclusively recruit grads straight out of the same 4-5 schools.  [/quote]
More than 4-5 schools, but I don't think they hire anyone with a degree received online. When I was in the OP's situation, at the age of 29, I enrolled into the GWU's Master of Accountancy program and studied full time. I had 4-5 classes a week, and at least half of them started in the evenings when my husband was already home from work and could watch the kids. It took me 15 months to graduate, including my summer internship with a Big4 firm, and I started working full time for that firm immediately after the graduation.[/quote]

Thanks for posting! I'm looking into this program right now (I'm not the OP). Am I too old at 35? Was it a good investment for you considering the cost at $50K? Once you found your job, did you find the hours to be family friendly? People seem to caution against the hours when starting in the accounting field.[/quote]
