I have a few questions about taking the CPA exam in Pennsylvania.

I am currently working as an an analyst for a major financial firm. I enjoy this position and do not currently wish to change into public accounting.

If I take and pass the CPA exam now and then get my masters before I do my experience requirement will I still need to do 2 years experience, since I waited until after the CPA exam to get my masters?

Does your masters need to be in accounting or would a masters in finance be okay?

If you are not practing public accounting, do you still need to keep up with the CPE requirements to stay licensed and if not, how many hours would you need to take to become up to date?

Does anyone know how much it COSTS to join PPAI??? Promotional Products Association International. Their site tells you nothing, their operators tell you nothing, their literature tells you nothing. It's all sort of "pay to apply and then if we want you we'll tell you the cost." Um, no. I am hopeful that someone out there will know what it COSTS to join this organization.

Yes, I have called on suppliers and distributors in the industry. Have called industry trade magazines and journalists, too. It is impossible to get a straight answer.

Thanks so much.

So, here is my situation....

I am currently in the Hotel/ Hospitality Industry. I have 2 years of experience. I just applied online for an Assistant Front Office Manager position and I was called for a phone interview by the director of Human Resources by this hotel. To tell you the truth, the lady was not very nice and DID NOT sound very happy with my answers at all. Still, she called me to schedule an interview for tomorrow morning with the Front Office Manager that I will be working with. Would they schedule an appointment for me if I didn't even have a chance? I just feel like there is no way I could get this job because in the requirements it states some things that I don't have. What are your thoughts? Any advice? Please only NICE answers need apply.

Sub-questions:
References. Are you just required to list names and numbers of your references - or do you need letters from them? What if I have zero references? Please explain what would make my references better than yours etc. What are they for - just to prove that I exist as a person; to prove that I am a good person; a popular person?

Hobbies and club memberships? Are they looking for the most conventional, conservative answers? Should I fake them? Am I a bad person if I am not a club member or a socialite?

Old office name cards/ telephone numbers. Are they necessary for the application form? What if I have a habit of throwing away old cards?

Popularity. Is it necessary to prove that you were/ are a popular person? What if I'm not one of the 'in' crowd?

Lying. Should I lie to exaggerate my abilities or to hide my flaws? Do most people become best candidates because they lie (to get the edge)?

My questions may seem over the top, but they are honest questions. Thanks.

I just applied as a salesmen there. I'm young and never really have dealt with a commissioned based company, which I assume they are. Is there an hourly rate as well? Has anyone worked for them? I hear they are in Fortune 500's best companies to work for so i'm pretty excited...
