Different people have different goal. Even goal changes along with time. I still remember the date May 14th, 2004 when i left my family back home in Nepal; my goal was to come to the United States, make money and return home with substaintial amount of wealth and live a happy life. But, it was not true neither easy. It changed over time. Working 12 hrs daily in an Indian Restaurant, and having one day off changed my vision after six week. I still remember the customer that influenced me to join school. Suddenly, my vision changed. I went to school like an aimless ship that does not know where to go. I didn't know what i want to be, what i want to do. Just had a vision for a better life. What makes a life better?. I didn't had any good answer; i didnot knew what i want to be and how i want my life to roll. I didn't even understand the education system, what classes to take, what career to pursue. Admitted as a nursing major changed my career to Science and then to business. Talking to different students, professors, exploring different career options and workshops helped me make my career visible. Infact some professor became my mentor and helped me make my career visible.
My future Goals that i want to achieve:
Academic:
Complete my undergraduate in Accounting and mathematics minor.
Continue my graduate degree in Finance from accredited university. NYU being on top.
Professional Certification:
1. Certified Public Accountant
2. Certified Internal Auditor
3. Certified Fraud Examiner
Business:
1. I would like to be in the top level management in one of the big four accounting firm. Delliotte is my first preference.
2. At one point, i would like work on my own. I would like to open up my own CPA firm; work for my self and practice for my community.
3. Apart from consulting and practices in US, i would also like to establish business overseas in Nepal based upon my career.
Personal:
Apart from my work, i would like to give time for my family too. I would like to maintain a proper balance between my family and my work. I would like to acquire some assets that could give my family a happy life. I am mostly concerned about my culture and better education to my childrens. As i already mentioned, that i am from Nepal and we live in a joint family. I have to take care of my parents and sisters. Even though i live in the United States, I am still responsible to take care of my parents.
How am i going to Achieve:
I only have about two semester to go. After my undergraduate degree, i will look to work for one of the big accounting firms and continue my education for my graduate school. In the mean time, I will also prepare for different certification in different steps. The first certification i will do is CPA, then CFE and CIA. I will work for this firm for about six to eight years and do my practice part time to bild my client. After, that i would like work full time for myself and start looking to do something in Nepal related to my career.

i believe someone can accomplish whatever they put there mind into. you have big dreams and i hope you can accomplish them you seem very dedicated with your school work so i hope you do become a certified accountant
Nothing is easy in life, but since you belive you can do it that is most important thing right now. I am in the same major, Accounting, and have similar situation. Came here from Europe, work hard, but hope to achive my goals one day, that why we have the vision for.You made a good choice. Good luck!
I certainly admire your concise vision since that is something that lacks in mine. We need some moral and ethical people to run the accounting world. Too many failures in business are done due to foul play in accounting. If you are true to yourself, ethical in your business, and not swayed or corrupted by money, you will make a name for yourself and your future businesses and hopefully restore some integrity into the world of "ruthless" business.
Just look at the actions you have taken to make your vision more clear and more achievable. Learning, doing, revising along the way...this is all part of the vision process. You are on your way to getting what you hope for. Keep going!
