Just curious guys, What is your age range when you have passed all the exams?

I feel like, I’m so behind to write this exam at this stage of my life

I'm 22…graduated with my BS last spring, took a year to get the extra credits and get a job, now working full-time in public accounting (very small firm) and working on the CPA – goal is to complete it by the end of the year, but that'd require 100% pass rate. 😛 I'll turn 23 this fall, so really hoping to at least have my CPA sometime in that year. I don't have kids, do have BF and live with him and his aging grandparents. Their medical needs go back and forth, so at times we're quite preoccupied with caring for them, and at times I'm able to focus on studying. Here's to hoping for good health for them – both for their sakes and for the CPA!

I turn 29 next month, originally got my bachelors in Economics and had no intention of ever doing accounting, but got a job in corporate tax and really enjoyed it and then followed up with a certificate in accounting and MS in Finance. I have a wife and a 6 month old little girl who is my world, 2 dogs and a cat, and I personally wish I had figured out I wanted to do this when I was 23 or 24 and had it all squared away before I had to take time away from family to do it. For those of you who are younger one day you will realize how smart you were for getting it out of the way, and for those a little older than me I applaud your gumption as I know it can be tough to tackle something like this after not being in a classroom for several years. Either way short term sacrifice for long term benefits, and hopefully I will be done this year!

I am currently 24, but I started when I was 23. I begin my full time position this September and cant wait to be able to enjoy my weekends while the others may be studying for the exams. Also, I hope the completion of these exams will make others take me more seriously.

I am turning 28 this August. My undergrad majors were Computer Science and Mathematics, and right after that, went to Accounting MBA to make some change in my career path, ended up being IT auditor. I started working in 2011. Passed CISA exam in 2011. Started studying for CPA exams since 2012, and got it done now.

It was such a non-stop long journey from undergrad straight to MBA to CPA. I feel that now I did what I need to do. From now on, everything, anything I do will be hobby-type (e.g. giving a try to CISSP, or some other certifications.)

Currently:
CPA - Class of 2013
ALMI (Associate, Life Management Institute)
CISA - Passed in 2011, Certified in 2014

In Progress:
ASA (Associate of Society of Actuaries) - EXAM P (O), EXAM FM (O), EXAM MFE (X), EXAM MLC (X), EXAM C (X)

I'm hoping to pass my last exam before I turn 23 this August. I graduated with my BS in accounting last year and I'm finishing up my master's in a couple months. I'm starting as a Big 4 auditor in the fall so I hope I have a little time off to enjoy myself before I start.

AUD - 11/30/12 - 89
