BUSINESS INSIDER
— Accounting is a fast track to an upper-middle-class life. My not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 was a tremendous career mistake. I wrongly thought that I could never pass the CPA examination. Even though I did not start taking graduate evening accounting courses until 1976, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. But by then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Accounting classes were actually fun because what I was doing finally made sense. I enjoyed the material and liked my classmates. Since I switched my major after my freshman year, I caught up on the credits I’d need to eventually get a CPA license by taking extra classes over the summer and winter breaks. During my sophomore and junior years, I interned with a tax firm and a CPA firm doing bookkeeping and tax work. The internships were interesting and helpful. At bigger firms, interns might get assigned to scanning client documents and other repetitive tasks, but I worked at smaller firms and was able to see the majority of the tax process from start to finish. After I graduated with a B.S. in accounting in 2017, I took a job with a local CPA firm in Oklahoma City. . .I joined a national firm doing tax work in 2018. I got my CPA license the following year because the company paid for part of my testing fees. Getting a CPA license isn’t mandatory for accountants — I know plenty of accountants without licenses who’ve had successful careers — but it’s still considered the gold standard for accounting and I knew it’d help me move up in my career. Later that year, I job-hopped to another local CPA firm and worked in a client-facing position doing tax and accounting work. In 2021, I got a job with the federal government as an IRS agent. In May 2023, I left the IRS to join a different agency, where I still work, and the following month I launched my own CPA practice. . .Almost every time I job-hopped, I got around a 20% pay bump, a title increase, and a better work-life balance. I feel comfortable and happy with my life.)
FED WEEK
— Have you ever taken a pay cut? I did. I took a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO when I was 31 years old in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors had made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13, currently $117,807/year, even though I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I finally made GS-13 at GAO in 1986, but I would not have if I had not earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor Examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981. I should write about my IRS and GAO coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me. They all were Democrats a) who had less wok experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: I began my federal career in 1985. My starting salary with a Master’s Degree was $21,804. I was taking a 12,000 dollar pay cut to begin my federal career. This 35 percent salary pay cut was mind-blowing. My friends and co-workers laughed at me and told me that it was a horrible mistake working for the government especially for such a large pay cut. My intuition told me that it was not a mistake and I was prepared to take a step backward in order to take a giant step forward. My vision of a federal career was that I saw growth and opportunity. The hospital continued to suffer with several other mergers and today it has been leveled to an empty parking lot.)
