Educational Goal - Achieving a Master of Science in Accountancy

I set out over 7 years ago to achieve a MS degree.  I was not sure if that was possible or if I was capable but I work in a shrinking industry and I knew I would need some alternatives.  Considering that I had not even achieved a Bachelors degree this was more of a dream then a goal.  Part of achieving any goal is setting a plan.  That plan started with earning the bachelor degree in Business with a concentration in Finance, which I did in 2011.  Soon after that I began to work on my Master of Science in Accountancy.  Follow this link The Master Plan to check on the progress.  It includes the upcoming schedule and a breakdown of cost.  In January 2013 I will be taking 15 credits (full time) for the first time in my life and I am very excited.  Taking classes, especially master level classes in a subject that is not included in the work you do is very difficult.  I have been able to do it so far but the opportunity to focus on the subject of my future work is exciting.  Of course it is scary to leave a secure position but I am very excited about the opportunity.  The fact that my wonder wife Elizabeth and my awesome Mom support me is very helpful and makes it all seem possible.
