Get a CPA.

gov't is full of fraud, waste, and abuse. they might be better of taking the money and burning it in giant wheel-barrow. and they more I pay, the worst the government (state and fed) gets - services suck, but hey we have a record number of gov't employees with super fat pensions, and dont get me started on the teachers union. but go ahead and be a sheep and pay - i do my best to avoid -i would rather give money to a shady lawyer/cpa to create structures for me to avoid. and i do. downvote away.

What is a BD? I am currently looking at/interviewing for big 4 track but I don't want to do 150 credits and take the CPA lol so I've been lying and saying I'll be ready to sit for it by end of 26.
