But you can actually pass the test and still can't be the CPA until you've done that experience

 

[Sabretooth]

Yeah same thing with CFA

 

[Chris]

I also have an accounting job but it's not a CPA firm so doesn't count lol

 

[Sabretooth]

You gotta pass 3 exams and work for a broker dealer for 2 years

 

[Chris]

Yeah it's two years for the CPA too I believe

 

[Sabretooth]

I am actually licensed to sell stock now cause of an exam I passed

 

[Sabretooth]

so that’s cool lol

 

[Chris]

I don't think the test is too expensive but the study materials you'd need to actually pass since it changes every couple years from what you already knew can run up to like $1.5k

 

[Sabretooth]

Yeah the money is absurd

 

[Chris]

Like the CPA prep class I had in college basically told is straight up "the tax laws are massively changing and we don't know details so this entire class might be out of date when you sit for the test"

 

[Sabretooth]

Glad to waste money on it lmao

 

[Sabretooth]

but the taxes is just one part of the exam

 

[Chris]

Yes that was just one example

 

[Chris]

You give me a headache bro it's always something

 

[Sabretooth]

To me Intermediate Accounting 2 was where I gave up
