Comments on: Formal Education? http://mycanadianfinances.com/2012/04/formal-education/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=formal-education A young Canadian interested in his finances Sat, 29 Dec 2012 11:50:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: MyCanadianFinances http://mycanadianfinances.com/2012/04/formal-education/#comment-287 MyCanadianFinances Mon, 23 Apr 2012 16:48:39 +0000 http://mycanadianfinances.com/?p=287#comment-287 I am not worried about failing the course due to being a bad student. I just do not want to have to choose my career over the course, because I will. I am thinking about taking an open entry financial accounting 1 course this year. If it goes well and is not too bad (because I am very busy this year) I will think about adding one or two a year.

It will take less time than a regular course because you can allocate your time better than a lecture would. And homework gets combined with the initial learning.

I don’t want to commit to a set amount of time because I do not know the school, course, or your efficiency. But if I had to say I would guess I would say you could get a very good grade for about 6 hours a week per course.

And I am pretty much decided that I will be at least taking some courses.

Unless you do truly want a career in finance some day though I would stick with your current job.
