Nothing hard about it at all.
I would go to your advisor and figure out the credit load for each semester until you graduate. I've had three internships and the only time I really had a hard time was when I was working like 45 hours a week with an 18 hr/credit load and a senior project. Networking is even easier, plus you'd be surprised how a plethora of professors can be incredibly helpful, I've had a Physics prof call up a company for me, and a Poli Sci prof get me connected, plus an old Legal Studies prof got me hooked up with a bunch of lawyers.
Office hours and the syllabus will be your best friends, but if you were a good student before, you should have no issue whatsoever.
I'm back...Tax and Intermediate Acct...I WILL NOT LOSE.
Intermediate is very tough...I actually thought it was harder than Advanced. It's a weed-out course.
that's what EVERYBODY SAYS.
I made it through business statistics with all that hard ass math shyt. i can do this!!!!
Yep, College, and life in general will fly by pretty quickly. I feel I hit myself with a double whammy in college and I just graduated. How you ask?
Well in college, there are 3 factions of people in general:
1. The people that only study and end up with 3.5 GPAs+, lot of organization and outside class experience and use college as a huge boost to their future ambitions
2. The people that never studied and only cared about the social aspects of college. Partying, girls, events, just having little responsibility etc They barely graduate and immediate job prospects are grim. Further education is off the cards entirely. 2.1 GPAs and such, and in non-STEM fields at that.
3. The in betweens. Partied, but still kinda did their work. Got some good internship and activity experience but they weren't like superstars. Usually your 3.0 average student that can get the job done.
Then there's me.
I never really partied because I felt I could use that time to study, instead, I would never study and I'd just wind up smoking and blowing off my work. So I essentially played myself for about 3 years before I got a grip. I graduated with about a 2.07 but I will say I managed 4 internships with one of them being in Asia (I'm black by the way). So I graduated with the grades of a dude that just partied and pulled girls but without actually having done that to the extent one would think.

That's because it's true.
When I took Intermediate, half the class dropped out by the time we took our final exam. It was the most difficult class in my accounting program (followed closely by Tax). I felt like I breezed through Advanced in comparison. Funny thing is, I received the same grade for both classes (A-).

I was supposed to start back Spring semester this upcoming Tuesday but my school has really fukked me over on the paperwork end. Why are the people in the financial aid offices at these colleges/universities so damn incompetent? I didn't decide I wanted to go back to school for Accounting until September to get a second degree. Since then my school has done nothing but drowned me into appeals, proof of degree, plan of work, & unnecessary forms to fill out (which got toss).
I've been waiting for approval since last month so I can get my books & start class on time and here it is I get an email from my professor when to start and now I might have to drop the class if I can't get a book or start by the end of the week at the latest. I'm really thinking about putting in a complaint against the school financial aid department and dropping the class.

Yup they have no fukking problem with people taking out loans and possibly ruining their credit just to get a piece of paper that might or might not get you're foot in the door. That's why I went to school on pell grants the first time around. If I'm lucky to back a second time I will be going on pell grants again. I'm not interested in paying 75k-100k in debt after graduation.
Tell me about it. I would do things so differently if i could start over.

What's your career field? What school would the MBA be from? Are you a good standardized test taker?
All questions to think about. If your career field is oversaturated and you can't make money but you can kill the GMAT and get into a top MBA It might be worth it.
Regarding prep if it's for the GRE there is the "Manhattan 5lb book" that's what it's literally called it's green and white that's pretty good. GMAT I would use "total GMAT Math" by Jeff Sackman. And I would use power score Logical Reasoning Bible made for the LSAT and any reading comprehension book. I recommend the LSAT book because the LSAT is harder than the GMAT so using there books to prep would make it easier to take the GMAT and the concepts are the same.
