Wife wants to go to school.... Questions??

There's two things you don't buy your wife, and that's TITS and an EDUCATION. Trust me on this.

Join date of 2002 and you still don't get it ... Astounding.

Forgot about it....

Well to be a dfwmustangs baller you only have to call yourself a CPA, drive fancy cars, brag about your big house, and then be called out for not being a real CPA.

It was more of a joke referencing past times on the site.

Ahh.... yea sorry didn't catch the joke, completely forgot about that.

You should only need a join date of 2011 to get that one.

LOL...it takes 150 credited college hours to sit for the exam to get your CPA plus you have work under a CPA for 1 year. A CPA would laff at $50-60k a year unless they were straight out of college trying for Big 4 experience.

With kids, Big 4 work doesn't lend itself to a happy home life and is a joke in itself.

Nursing is the only thing I can think of that would allow 1-2 years of school and make somewhere close to that with no experience, maybe.

this is what we are afraid of... any advice for helping get selected? Getting in at a dental office with experience would help I guess? Do you know how many people are selected each time, and how many apply?

I doubt any college is going to freely give out those statistics.

Sounds like you should hit her and tell her to go study a cookbook in the kitchen.

Imagine how horrible it might be to work in a dental facilty like Monarch before choosing the dental hygienist career path.

My girl took all the necessary courses to get into the dental hygienist program at TCC, made straight As, and still did not get selected. The year before it was the exact same thing with the rad tech program. It's a fucking crock. The career counselors (at the Northeast campus) were absolutely no help. They finally told her she would have a better shot if she already had experience working in a dentist's office as an admin or entry level assistant, but that doesn't pay shit. Now she's decided to be a teacher instead.

She works her ass off to juggle work and school. I could never see myself doing that, but props to your wife for wanting to achieve something new.
