Others might be able to give you more help.
I am currently a real estate agent, but I am wanting an accounting degree as a backup. It doesn't have to be a psych degree, I am just interested in the subject and thought "Why not!". Thanks for your advice.

I'd recommend taking taking an intro to accounting course at a community college if you can. That way you can get RA credit and a solid introduction to it probably with more depth than study.com or sophia. And if you do continue with it, you'd have a solid foundation.
Because at as someone who got a business degree a lot of people said they wanted to do accounting. But once they tried it, not everyone wanted to do it anymore. Personally, I loathe accounting and while I personally see it's importance I will never ever get a job in accounting.
Thank you! I hadn't thought of doing that, but I can see how that would be a good idea.
If you're in real estate why not a bachelor's in business administration? You'd have to take a few LL accounting courses for most business degrees. The accounting degrees are pretty difficult unless you love accounting. Learning accounting online is nothing like in person. I also would recommend taking an accounting class at local community college in person and trying it out before committing to an entire degree in it then if you don't enjoy it you won't be stuck in a degree program that you're not happy with. And if you love it then you'll know you made the right choice. I've taken many accounting courses and some of them I can't imagine understanding all of the concepts and theory in an online course where you're on your own to learn. I did all of mine in person so I could ask the professor questions. That made a huge difference to me.
