I got my BEC score last night and was stunned that I got a 60. Everything in the exam went well I thought but apparently I was dillusional. The reason I am posting this is a need serious help in deciding what to do. Briefly, my situation is I am 46 years old, worked as an accountant 12 years. I work full time, am married and have a 7 year old. I have been studying non stop since 2010 and my husband is no longer supportive of me studying. He has done a tremendous job of helping me but he is burned out and feels that at this stage of my career, I can be replaced with someone overseas just as easily that is cheaper and already has an equivalent to a CPA. I don’t want to work in public accounting. I undertook this journey after I was laid off by a major oil company after 9 years in 2010 as a way to maintain marketability. I made 6 figures last year, work no overtime and very little stress BUT am not really challenged. My manager does not really value my contributions nor my ambition to grow professionally. I have sacrificed to much for this exam but I need to be realistic. Please only supportive feedback…also, I average about 20+ hours a week studying, used Yaeger, Ninja Audio and Notes and Wiley Testbank.

I'm pretty sure most folks would have the same opinion as previously expressed…keep going, never give up, defintiely worth the increased marketability, think about what you would tell your child, you won't work at that job forever, etc. etc. etc.

Just buckle down and get er done!!! All the work you put into thus far would've been for naught. What a waste!
