Advice to successfully pivot?
Currently working in sales/business development while I work on my accounting bachelors from WGU, with the hope of pivoting into accounting. I’m about 70% done with the degree (12 classes left), attempting to finish within the next 8-10 months. What do you think is my best move to successfully become an accountant?
Should I:
-finish the degree and then apply/network for entry level roles?
-try to get an AP/AR type role while I finish the degree so I have some experience that’s more relevant than sales?
-try to pivot internally in my company? This will be difficult as they don’t allow that for the most part but potentially worth exploring?
-a fourth option I’m not thinking of?
Any advice for what to do next or which roles to target would be much appreciated!!

Best order to take my remaining classes in?
Just finished D102 financial accounting and started D388 spreadsheets. The current class order is what I have left in the order that it was loaded into my degree plan.
Based on your experience, would you recommend changing the order I take classes in? Or is the default one they gave me a good order to tackle them in?
For context, I have 43 CUs left and 22 weeks left in my term. Hoping to finish the remainder in 2 terms (including current one).

$25k in Roth IRA
$25k in rollover IRA (combined some former employer 401ks)
$53k in individual investing account
Additional:
$12k in current employer 401k
$2k combined in regular checking/savings accounts
$13k in HYSA for emergency fund and tuition payments
$0 in debt. Renter not homeowner but student loans and car are both fully paid off.
