Hi muslim.chochlov,
    Where are you doing your masters? I am at California State University,
Monterey Bay. What is your background in finance and accounting? I have an
MBA in business information systems, having to passed both business and
technical classes. I currently help out in the office of a certified public
accountant, as well as substitute teach, for a living. I have been with this
CPA for over 5 years.

Cheers,
Elise L. Scher
