I am thinking of getting a life experience degree for accounting, but I have over 15 years exp in the field…
I have heard of these and honestly, I have thought about getting one. I have over 15 years experience, two jobs in 15 years. I currently work as assistant controller for a local firm here and I have hired and fired more young kids with degrees due to lack of knowledge in accounting. I have had at least 3 people in the position of staff accountant and all three screwed up the chart of accounts and I had to fix. I was going to run the position again in the paper, but have decided against it.
The current controller is leaving and I am interested in her position, but it requires a bachelor degree. I have an associates degree, but they will not consider me without that piece of paper. And I practically run the accounting department.
I am eventually going to leave and get a controller position. Do you guys think that life experience degrees are bad, not professional? I am not lieing about my experience, I just simply need a boost so I can qualify for the job I know I can do. Advice?

Make sure the school is accredited or you’re wasting your time and money. You may actually be able to test out of many of the classes.

Life Experience degrees are not considered legitimate! Look for Regional or National accreditation. Regional Accreditation is the most well accepted.
