RIVER BENDER
— Accounting Major Ralph Wideman Delivers Address At Illinois High School Diploma Graduation. Career counseling is very important. My not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 was a very big career mistake. I erroneously thought that I could not pass the CPA examination. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, or veteran.
