Get Your Accounting Degree Online

One of the recurring stories of the last half-century of the American experience is the outsourcing of the middle class. Jobs, particularly in manufacturing, have been outsourced or outright eliminated as cheaper labor from overseas has replaced “American made” in our stores and our lives.
In the process, the United States of America has become more of a bedroom community for the rest of the world. We commute to our offices, then spend the rest of the day telecommuting all over the world to manage finances here, push info there, open this account in a third place. In the process, America’s middle class has changed from production and manufacturing-based to information and technology based. That’s because “making things” doesn’t make as much money as “making money” does. There’s always a way to turn one dollar into two, which is why accounting work is a great bet for a steady, lucrative career.
If you’re looking to get an accounting degree, you should start by looking for accounting degree online. Accounting degrees online offer options for everything from home study with strictly online courses, to hybrid accounting degree courses that offer accounting courses in the classroom as well as online. Numerous accredited universities in Orlando and throughout the United States offer accounting degrees online. It makes sense to check all of them out, price them, and take a look at your job prospects. Someone who obtained an accounting degree online from a top university will obviously be worth much more on the open market coming out of class than someone who home-schooled themselves. Additionally, it costs much less to get an accounting degree online or CPA degree from a top university online than most traditional accounting courses and accounting degree programs.
It’s important to understand that accounting degrees online aren’t just for young folks or people looking to change their profession. Accounting can be a seasonal supplement to your regular job, as from January to April a CPA can earn tens-of-thousands of dollars through freelance work. You’ll put in long hours, of course, but if you need the extra money, it’s worth it. Especially since accountants will always be in demand for as long as we have currency.
Even if you’re only doing your own taxes, obtaining an accounting degree online or simply taking accounting courses can pay off. Free courses are available for download, and if you learn the ins-and-outs, you can end up saving yourself not only a bunch of cash on accountant’s fees, but a bunch on write-offs and declared expenses. It’s worth looking into, especially if you’re good with numbers.
So don’t delay. Getting your accounting degree online could help you make the jump to the financial status that you’ve always wanted.

Successful Career Moves

Are You Changing Jobs or Building a Career?
The last time you left one employer to join another, how much thought did you give to the long-term implications of the change you were about to make?
For the past decade, it has been relatively easy for professionals to move from one employer to another on a regular basis. Some in the accounting profession have made carefully planned career moves while others have simply made a series of job changes. You may be wondering…. why does this topic matter? Isn’t it enough to simply have a job and a paycheck in the middle of a recession?
Given the choice to be employed versus sitting on the sidelines, it is clearly better to be employed. No argument here.
When companies hire an executive accounting recruiter to fill a strategically important accounting job in their company, many factors are discussed between the employer and the accounting recruiter.
For example, employers frequently bring up the topic of job changes. There is a very fine line between one accounting professional having too many jobs over a period of time and another accounting professional having just enough change in their career to show depth and breadth of skill, diversity in employment experiences and variety and growth in responsibilities.
The next time you’re thinking about moving from one employer to another, ask yourself the following questions:
- If I make this change, how will my responsibilities and skills change over the next 2-3 years?
- What will my resume likely look like in 2-3 years if I make this change?
- Is the change I’m pondering putting me closer to my long term career objectives?
- Will I have an opportunity to build a program or a series of programs in the new organization?
- Will my level of responsibility increase, stay the same or decrease if I take the new job?
- Will I be leading, guiding, mentoring or managing people in the new job? If so, how many people and how soon?
- Are enough resources allocated to the new job for me to be successful?
- Will I manage a budget in the new job? Will I be taking on a larger or smaller budget than the one I have responsibility for now?
- Will my technical skills broaden, stay the same or decrease if I take the new job?
- Is there a clear path for personal growth in the new job?
- Are there clear objectives to be met that will enable others to measure my accomplishments and clearly see my contribution to the company in the new job?
- Will my work be visible in the new organization?
- Will the reporting structure in the new job allow me to be successful?
- Will I be able to learn from my new boss?
There are more questions to be asked before moving to a new employer. Hopefully these questions will give you a basis from which to add even more questions. If you measure the new job opportunity against questions like these and if the answers you come up with are positive, you may be making a well-planned career move rather than a short-term job change.
If after measuring a new job opportunity against these questions, you’re frequently not sure of the answer, you either have more work to do before making a decision or you may have enough uncertainty staring you in the face to make a decision to walk away.
If you struggle with the questions shown above and the core reason you find yourself attracted to a new job is primarily money, more often than not you’re contemplating a job change. A job change will lead to another job change sooner than later because most job changes are not made based on sound business logic. You’ll get used to the new level of income sooner than you think. It won’t be long before the new level of income isn’t enough. You’ll start looking for the next financial bump.
To make well-planned career moves versus job changes, a bit of careful planning is necessary. Security professionals who have made carefully planned-out and carefully measured career moves are the candidates who are most likely to fit into the requirements that land on the desk of a highly specialized security recruiter.
