College can be a waste of time. Heres an example.

[VerbalIntercourse]

the example is myself

i went through an accelerated accounting program at a top tier university, and i just finished. i wanted to jump into public accounting, but it's look like it's not going to happened because of mygrades.

And here they are

i can explain my bad grades in the winter, i had sciatica and i was working two jobs because my parents left me in a bad financial situation two years ago. i accumulated debt that i needed to pay off. nobody is even going to bat an eye at my resume because of my GPA.

I got the A- because was republican volunteer.

Point is nobody is going to even look at my resume because i sub 3.7gpa. I spent 16000 on the program and im not going to get anything out of it. Dozens. Of my classmates already got on with the big 4.


i spent all that money and time i got nothing out of it. Thats okay. I have a job and financially okay, but what if i was an undergrad? I would be lost and depressed right now. i should have dropped out after the winter session. i have had a brutal exam every saturday for the last 9 months. Im glad its over. I feel sorry for the kids that listen to people like twism13, who say college is this cure-all for ignorance and unemployment. i didn't make the cut, and im sure 100s of undergrads dont either. Starbucks jobs for them, piles of debt and a bitter heart.

go private. You don't want to get into auditing right out of college that shyts a nightmare. They make shyt money and work horrible hours. Unless you plan on staying with them for years...
that being said there are some benefits and namely the NAME is great to have on your resume. You can still get a CPA and make money without having worked at a big 4. PWC just left my company a few weeks ago after doing an audit and those poor b*stards work some crazy hours and get paid less than I do.

All you do is lie and blame everyone else for your actions except yourself.


You make me sick.

Explain yourself

Work for a private company. Everyone needs someone to count their money.
A private controller can make good money, hell even an analyst or jr analyst can make good money, especially coming out of college.

My friend just graduated from a 5-year program where he got his Master's in Accounting and he got a job right away. What's your definition of top tier? I don't know any top tier universities with accelerated accounting programs.

What I learned in this world is that you can have all the qualifications but if you don't know anybody you aren't really going to do shyt". This is the case about 90 percent of the time.

regional top tier i guess. im not going to name it here because i don't Want any google search trails leading to this website, but the big four does the bulk of their hiring from this school and that's what matters.

on campus recruiting starts in august so maybe i have a chance.

i wouldnt drop 16,000 grand on community college. or some other BS for-profit school that wouldn't lead to a job.


the intermediate 2 class was hard. The professor made it way more difficult than it should have been. there were people from ivy leagues in my class, and had trouble too.

Capitalize leases exam average was 20%!

Be honest. You got interviewed by a few places and they gave you a personality/job fitness test as many professional jobs do these days. Then they never called you back because your results came back James Holmes.
