Sophia: U.S. History: Learn from the Past, Prepare for the Future

[NC Coach]

Bravo to learning for learnings sake!  I am nearly done with a TESU BSBA accounting and my end goal is a CPA.  Do I need either?  Not really.  I have a good professional career. (I am 47). Do I WANT both?  Absolutely!

Along the journey, I picked up the BOG AAS from Pierpont.

I am also adding a BA History from TESU.

Why? I need 150 hours for the CPA.  Most often taken as a masters, my state doesnt care.  150 hours.  I’ll have more than enough accounting.  Need the 150.

Second, the cost to add a history degree at TESU is less than a Masters.

Third, and most important, I really really like history.  

Kudos to you for following your interests!!  Learn for the sake of learning and personal fulfillment.

Thank you!   Kudos to you also for your continued learning and pursuing the CPA.   May we never stop learning about something of interest!

I'm also picking up the BOG AAS, but not from Pierpont.   I'm in a class now with West Virginia University at Parkersburg to meet their 3-credit residency requirement (I needed RA credits anyway).   Being a native of WV, although I have lived in NC for several decades, I felt I'd rather have the degree from WVUP so I made the small additional investment to get the degree from a source I would prefer.  

Some would see that as an unnecessary cost, but for me it is a little extra money well-spent.
