This might be too far out there, but I don’t know of anyway to help other than to give you food for thought:Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 8:13 pmI would struggle studying while pregnant and/or with a newborn. I know my studying habits especially when I'm not 100% sure that I want it- to be a CPA. You have to live and breathe it. I've seen friends who wanted it fail. It's hard.Donnie wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 7:57 pmYou lumped passing the test AND getting a new job together as a reason not to get pregnant in the fall.Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 7:51 pm The exam is four parts, the recommended study time for each part is 80-100 hours. I would probably spend 8-10 weeks studying for each section, so that would be one test a quarter. The pass/fail rate right now for this exam is 50%, so there are good odds that I won't pass on the first try. I would hope to be done in a year after passing my first section.
What if you studied and took the tests but didn’t worry about a new job right now? Does that make it reasonable for you to continue with the pregnancy plans?
Or, what if you forget about the test, for now, and focus on finding a job that you don’t hate? How does that change things?
I would have to go back to it once the baby was older/sleeping through the night. And my husband would have to step up in a big way.
I am keeping an eye on the market, most jobs are looking for a CPA or someone with parts passed. The only good thing about my current job is that there is no pressure to pass. Some jobs make it difficult for you if you aren't studying or passing. I will keep looking.
Have you considered the possibility that you are in the wrong job field?
