To class or not?

Last week, my friends whatsapp-ed me these.

I asked her what is that? She said that is the exam notification on her CPA and she told me that she is now taking CPA, which is shortform of Certified Public Accountant.  I google-ed about that and found this:

Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is the statutory title of qualified accountants in the United States who have passed the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination and have met additional state education and experience requirements for certification as a CPA. Individuals who have passed the Exam but have not either accomplished the required on-the-job experience or have previously met it but in the meantime have lapsed their continuing professional education are, in many states, permitted the designation "CPA Inactive" or an equivalent phrase. In most U.S. states, only CPAs who are licensed are able to provide to the public attestation (including auditing) opinions on financial statements. The exceptions to this rule are Arizona, Kansas, North Carolina and Ohio where, although the "CPA" designation is restricted, the practice of auditing is not.

I also found out from my friend that if you enroll for CFA, there will be no class at all. They will gave you the module and you have to read at your own. My friend also informed that there is a forum to discuss on the subject and whatnot.

I know that IT have changed our education drastically! I cannot imagine if I at her situation. I mean, not going to class at all? No lecturer to ask question even a silly question? And no classmate to discuss about the subject during lunch hour or even going to karaoke after class to release our stress? And to who I will ask for any candy when am sleepy during the class? On a positive side, she no need to drive to class, can save money on petrol. And the best part is she can have her “own class”  with her pyjama on and sipping the coffee at the most cosy place, at her own house.  By then, I also cannot imagine if during the forum no one will assist me, or maybe the forum will make me more confused! Me, on the other hand, have to wake up early in the morning, dress  up nicely and sacrificed my weekends.

In the end, it all depends on ourselves, to take our own initiative to success in the exam. With class or not, with classmates or not, we still can succeed, and of course with Allah’s bless. Best of luck to my friend and also my classmate!
