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

Plot Twist :


A black man was probably hired in your region and probably has a slightly worse grade than you.


Explain to me in 50 or less words how it is entirely his fault that you are a failure.

I think his problem is he doesn't have a bachelors.

you Complainin about a 3.7? Dude, I barely had about the cutoff (2.01), and was on acedemic probation when graduated. I still got myself a job.

Breh don't get trolled. This is a low-key bragging thread.

"OMG I GOT 3 B's MY LIFE AND FUTURE ARE OVER!!"




TS for reference, I graduated with a 2.086 GPA and made Vice President of Engineering at my job by age 29. If you're not successful in life, I guarantee you it will *not* be because you got 3 B's on your report card in your first year of college, it'll be because you're lazy, stupid, or difficult to work with.

To be fair, you probably didn't graduate in a recession.

Right now about half of recent college grads can't find full-time jobs - they're not all lazy and stupid.


TS is obviously trolling though.

The game has changed. Your close enough to the age of a guy who is 22 like me to not be hitting us with that Baby Boomer logic. It's a different time entirely.

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.

pick a better field.

i have bs in econ from a UC

I have an MA in econ from a......


CSU. I never wanted to say that here because i know it would be a means to insult me. but yeah, i went to a third tier school. It really hurt my job prospects..
I think that is the missing piece of the story that you guys are looking for.


accounting isnt business math BTW


This is the silicon valley, and standards are really high out here i doubt ill get an interview from the Big 4.

 

[VerbalIntercourse]

cpa's make 100k+ out here.

One guy in the class got a hired in cost position and he got 60k starting. i think thats good

I'll be taking a pay cut if jump into the big 4 (they start at 55k), but the resume bump is well worth it. most controller/cfo positions go to big 4 alums.

 

[Type Username Here]

Accounting IS business math. Sorry friend. Nothing wrong with accountants, but the math is extremely weak and I always hear fukkers bytching about it.

thats where you made your mistake.. you could have made that 100k from any engineer field.. or lots of it field..

you picked a field where the people in it are old.... and they dont wanna stop making money because there making a lot.


2 choices... better start finding low paying jobs and accumulate experiences..

or..

change field..

If it isn't from UCLA or UCB, your BS in Econ is BS

I graduated in December of 2002 at the age of 23, right when all the post 9/11 crashing was going down. I had to take an 11.00 / hr job as my first gig after graduation, because with my GPA none of the engineering companies would hire me.

The math isnt what is hard. It's knowing how all the GAAP rules apply.

deferrd taxes (the hardest subject) uses simple addition and multiplication. But there are 15 steps, and they all can change based on the scenario. its like a big maze or puzzle. accounting is not business math or bookkeeping.

Thats why intermediate 2 is such an important class. Thats real accounting.

Im not an engineer nor do i want to be. Math isn't hard (i got As calc 1 to 3)I just don't have the patience for those stupid labs. I hate labs. I got a b+ in chemistry because of those stupid labs. i can't stand it.
