I am so glad I found this site.
I have some questions.
I have a college diploma in marketing (2 year), but I really want a career in accounting. I got over 95% in my college accounting courses, and from age 5 my parents and friends told me to be an accountant or statistician.
So finally now I am planning to become a CGA (in Ontario Canada). But there are several aspects of the training I'm not sure about.
1. Should I get my university degree and finish that off before registering in CGA Ontario and starting those courses? That way I can get many transfer credits and finish CGA sooner, as well as not repeat courses, and not have to do university / CGA at the same time.
2. I live in Guelph Ontario. I am pretty stable here with a job, nice apartment, family, girlfriend, friends, etc. Is the University of Guelph decent for business? I know I can't major in accounting, but is an economics degree OK too? Should I think about commuting to Laurier or Waterloo? I really don't know right now.
Those are my first two questions, thanks for reading, and any answers will help lots!
