I am planning to go to college again....

[Guest guest]

Hi all....

After unsuccessfully job searching since August last year and reflecting on what

I have done, where my skills are, and where I could see using my skills, I have

begun the application process to begin what I hope will be the last two years of

a bachelor's degree in accounting.

I have always loved playing with numbers and algebraic expressions and crunching

them in my head (without the use of a calculator), and I have had a couple of

nonprofit experiences with accounting and budgeting the past couple of years. I

feel accounting is a natural for me, and could open up many doors for me in the

autism/disabilities and environment areas.

Even if I take classes in the fall, I will continue work with my adult autism

organization (and drop most everything else). I'll cross the bridge to take the

CPA exam when that time comes after graduation.

If accepted to the local university and its school of business (which won't be a

problem with me for either regarding grades, etc.), I will receive services

through a specialized program for students with high functioning autism and AS.

It won't cost me anything, so my future looks bright. It will be like starting

college fresh all over again, except this time around having the services I need

in order to transition well from college to real life.

Will see what happens....
