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

nikka accounting is the easiest major to get a job. I remember reading that 50% of accounting majors have a job b4 they even graduate

The Wall Street firms already wised up to it so they are beginning to hire math majors instead.

underrated post. TUH dropping that KTL

You can't be serious......

good thing you are

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


You make me sick.

What's a better field? Have you ever heard of an accountant having a hard time getting a job?

as far as i heard yes.. only the low paying ones where they could hire anyone are availlable.. my sis in law graduated the same thing and got stuck on a 20$/hours job.. like 42k a year...


i get about 69k doing cisco stuff

and its only getting better.

p.s. where i live 55k will get ya a house and a car no sweat

No, he needs to try public accounting first. If you want to maximize your career options struggling through PA for a couple of years is better than anything else.

Some work is better than no work and as he's ready to toss his newly acquired degree to the way side I stand by my initial response, but will say that YES career path wise having big 4 experience is another star on a resume, BUT on that same note you don't need it to be successful.

Accounting grads are losing out to Math majors on Wall Street... Which kinda makes sense, since accounting is easy as fukk.

I got my Master's in Aerospace Engineering and I'm pretty sure that my freshman year's classes were tougher than Accounting's senior shyt.

You don't post in here all that much homie, but this guy is trolling. I try to get more cats like you and others in the TLR to post in here, but if you don't I blame you for not knowing. He's one of those anti-college people. Always has been. This guy went from being an economic genius supposedly in KTL to suffering for employment right now. I don't buy it. Oh, and he's weird .

After seen the grades, I didn't take what he was saying seriously...

If you got a Bachelors in Accounting, a 3.7 is good. I'm an accounting major, and I will be happy to finish with those grades.

On another note though, in today's market, a bachelors in accounting don't mean much unless you get your CPA. Next, CMA which will really separate yourself from everyone else. I would put getting your CMA designation about an MBA.

subs.

C'mon dawg worst case scenario, you can get a job as a personal banker at Chase and make 35-40k. If you can't find a job in accounting then you messed up somewhere.

Good for you. I don't think you really know what accounting is, but you're free to make your value judgments as you wish. Nobody is saying that accounting is the hardest major in school. Thats why GPA requirements are really high. Engineering guys can have sub 3.5s into get entry level (not into big firms though)

Accounting isnt finance. I could do finance, but i dont think someone from finance could do accounting work. Public accounting firms dont hire people without accounting degrees.


engineering is cool. Its not for me. This is norcal and the best and brightest engineers from India, china and taiwan are here by the millions. I dont have anywhere near the brain power to compete with them. Sometimes you just have to get in where you fit in. i like accounting work. I enjoy it and i think it is fascinating. the glove fits.

It's business math. Simple shyt. You don't have to provide proof for anything. Accounting is an over saturated market because it's too damn easy to get a degree or certification . The Wall Street firms already wised up to it so they are beginning to hire math majors instead.

the CPA exam requires 150 units and it has pass rate of 44%. How is that too damn easy?

accounting is not about math. Its fully understanding how the GAAP double entry booking system affects the financial statements.

Math majors and finance guys are smart, but i wonder if they really understand what "cost of good sold" means and where that comes from. i dont think that they do.

Cost of good sold is a maze of journal entries, GAAP required cost systems, Variances and asset allocations. IF i was a CFO there are probably 100s of different things i could do to make that COGS number lower, and without an accounting background, i doubt you would understand what i was doing.
