Also, what if this what I wanted to do:

I’m going into the accounting field and while I do enjoy it (not that much tho, I admit), I know i can’t be in auditing forever. I want to try making it to manager level though (perhaps 5 years?) and all the meanwhile take courses towards something. My firm does pay for some amount of schooling each year (hoping it can be towards anything).

Would it possible in that time to get some degree in mechincal engineering? Applied mathematics, especially that type of designing/building has always fascinated me (was sorta too far into accounting to turn back tho). But is it possible for me to do anything about that without going back to school full time? Perhaps if I can’t achieve bachelors… maybe associates? And then maybe that could allow me to get masters?

Hell, I even wanna learn this for my own knowledge, not necessarily for a job. But would be cool to jump my career from accounting to something with engineering. Perhaps a manager or something in that field. Combining both talents.

Of course, no idea how possible this is, but any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
