I learned from the video "The Power of Vision" that in order to succeed one must have a vision of one's future. It was a very interesting video. A vision can help us to keep track of our dreams and objectives, but there are things in life that are out of our control and hopefully I will be able to accomplish what I want without too much unexpected surprises. My vision for the next five years is to grow professionally, to obtain a Master's degree and to buy a house.
I will graduate next year, and I expect to start a full time job as soon as I leave school. I plan to apply to all the relevant jobs in my area of interest. In order to receive an offer from a company, I have to research the company, practice for my interviews and possibly a mock interview. Another important thing is to continue getting good grades in school, because most jobs require a GPA of 3.0. I also expect to learn as much as I can in my full time job and make advancements and be promoted according to the company's policies.
I want to get a Master's degree, but for now I am still undecided between a MBA or MS. For sure, I will come back to school for my masters after I pass the CPA exam. This is a simple task, because it only require a GMAT test. But is still challenging because I have to study for the GMAT first, and I intend to take one of those review classes before taking it.
Another goal is to buy a house or a condo. Of course, I need to have a full time job first, which I hope I will. I am planning to buy a house in NJ and in order to achieve it, I will have to save at least $20K per year and in about 5 years I will have about $100K saved to give as down payment. It's not easy to save money, especially living in NYC where the cost of living is so high. But in order to save as much money as I can, I am planning to cut the extra and unnecessary shopping, and only buy the basic.

What we saw in the video, gave a very clear picture of vision and setting the goals in either your personal life or in the corporate environment.
I agree that in order to achieve success, you first need to define what your goals are, then start working on them.
It seems to me that your vision is pretty achievable. In fact, we have a similar goal. I also would like to excel in my career in the field of Accounting. And, this is my top priority. As you said, it is important to keep up with school, with your GPA, and get as much as experience as you can while in school, would keep your options open when you look for the best company you can work for. And getting a master degree would also take you a step further.
I wish you best luck in your future.
It looks like you have a very good plan for the future regarding your goals. You should definitely try to get your masters degree because it will look really good on your resume. As for the saving part, its not an easy thing, but if you have a CPA license and masters degree on your resume at the same time then you can easily make 65K starting for almost any company.
Your 5 years goal seems very achievable.
Studying for MBA while you are working for full job is not easy but if you set your mind to achieve it, I am sure that you can do it. Maintaining good GPA doesn't seem like a problem for you since you have been working hard until now. You can graduate with good GPA as long as you have a goal to achieve.
I agree on that you can save enough money to buy a house in 5 years if you don't spend on unnecessary things.
Good luck!
