All I can say is try to focus on the study guides, and watch the comprehensive reviews for each OA. Try to understand what is actually happening, put yourself in the businesses shoes. Not just memorizing formulas.

For the OA1’s, I found the excel portion of the PA to align VERY well with the excel portion of the OA in all 3 Intermediate classes.

D103 - 3/15-4/1

D104 - 4/2 - 4/20

D105 - 5/1-5/11

If I can do it, you can do it!! Also, I work full time, have a spouse and 6 month old, and we unexpected bought a house and went under contract on that at end of March, so a large part of this IA series was either during house closing or moving all of our things. And we even went camping one weekend. It’s been a busy past couple months.

Next up is AIS and Change Management, and then I have Business Simulation and then Audit.

I started the program March 1st, and transferred in a fair amount of Gen-Ed’s and General Business courses from my management bachelors, so had 15 classes to take. I am now at 11/15 of them complete.

CAREER ADVICE??

I plan to finish around mid June, and then will start applying to jobs in July. Reason being that I have a 2 week backpacking trip planned in July, so don’t want a new employer to need to work around that, and have some FMLA I may want to use and not loose to spend with our child.

I’ve worked in an Industry Corporate AR department for the past 3.5 years. Started out in customer service at my current company through a temp agency right out of college, then got promoted to a credit analyst role for the past year and a half, working remotely. The work/life balance is great and I love my boss/coworkers, but the pay is not great, and the ceiling is very long and low.

I’m thinking of applying to either Staff Accountant, Revenue Accountant, or Tax Associate roles. Should I be applying to entry level, or junior/senior roles? Thoughts? My long term plan is I’d like to return to WGU for my Master’s and get my CPA, then eventually in 10+ years step back and get into a more seasonal/fractional role (has me leaning tax.)

Given all of that, Remote is a must, and working under a CPA would be a requirement for my work experience sign off.

Thank you for any career advice you have, and if you’re questioning whether you can do it, I’m telling you that you can!!

Everything made it safely. All trips were 40+ mpg, besides the chicken coop, and that one was 30 mpg, due to a couple stops/pull overs, and the tarp acting a wind sail.

Love our Maverick. Camping one week, throwing a bunch of crap in the bed that we probably don’t need the next!

We love our hybrid! It’s been great these past two years and putting near 46K miles on it.

All of the trip mileage was towing the camper, besides one 15 mile drive to a drive in restaurant down the mountain, and then 15 miles back up, so 225 miles of towing total.

Filled up both times from the same gas station, so hand calc is accurate.

Camped near Tellico Plains TN, off the cherohala skyway.

The only thing I wish we had on it was the AWD/4K tow, but then again I wouldn’t pay the $35K that would cost, and I’m happy when we got ours for $25K OTD.
