In Reply To: It does not matter what you choose to do to get 150 credits. I minored in political science pre-law empasis to get to mine, but I am now going for my MBA, so I have way enough credits. Also the CPA exam is harder then the bar exam for one reason. Bar exam reviews know what questions will be asked. The CPA exam questions can be anything you need to know about everything on all four subjects tested. Good luck! I know you will pass whatever test you choose. I know an accountant with all three certifications.
Message: What three certifications in accounting do you mean? CMA, CPA, CFA? I think it's just like marginal utility theory, the more you get of those licenses, the less benefit you get out of them. Each of them brings a whole complex structure of experience requirements, specialization questions, exam preparations questions/costs, etc. I think a couple of those would be fine, and the next one could be only MBA or law degree. Am I correct? But who of you passed CMA exam? I'm preparing for CMA right now. I passed CPA exam before. Thnx
