[encourageSome1]

i alr have degree

Then it depends on do u want to farther yr profession in accounting/ audit / finance
If not , there r 9999 other possibilities for u in this world out there

Now many of us do life version 0
Then at our later 3x-4x do version 1
Semi retire time do v2
It's all possible if u don't like waht u alr have and want to explore other stuff / other career routes

Even this professor who studied love / psychology also changed fr finance

I have completed 3 modules, left 3 more to go.

However, I am having some issues trying to fulfill the 3-year practical working experience requirement.

Last year, I contacted CPA Australia and they provided me with a solution: I do not need my actual exact supervisor who is a CA/CPA to sign off my working experience. Meaning to say, any CA/CPA can sign off for me as long as they are satisfied with my working experience. (iirc, ACCA also allows this but not CA SG).

Recently, I managed to get in touch with an ex-manager who we worked for few months only and he was ok to sign for that few months. Better than nothing.

Currently I am still left with around 30 months of experience that needs to get signed off but I am running short of people to ask. In general, most of them that I asked are not willing or comfortable to sign.

My current workplace, during the interview they said they can support and sign off for me. But it turns out none of them are qualified to do so as they are neither CA nor CPA. This issue has been one of the stronger reasons why I want to change job.

Given that $ has been invested into this, I dont want to see the $ go down the drain. However, I am also stuck with a requirement which I struggle to fulfill.

Besides, from time to time I do think about if I want to continue this accounting field as well.

Based on the time frame, latest by May 2027 I have to complete the entire CPA programme.

What would you do if you were me ?

 complete if not wasted
