It's an "entry" level positon, BUT you need a bachelors and 4 years experience

With an art degree I can be eligible for flight school. With a Native American tribal law studies degree I can be eligible for flight school. It's a joke

yea, the likelihood of you passing the physical tests and getting thru the academics with top ranks are slim as fukk,
the degree requirement is just to weed more people out.

This is ouuuuurrrrrr countryyyyyy

On a more serious note, though.

Some companies SAY this, but don't mean it. It's only to weed out those who really have doubts about the position.

I'm not saying it always works, but it definitely applies, sometimes.

My younger brother is the king of no experience / no certificates, and the lil nikka is working a 40k job as a system admin @ 20 years old. He's getting underpaid, for the job, I believe. BUT, he got the job because he just randomly applied. And this is gonna look good for him, experience wise, later down the road.

The job he had, before this was 2 years as a Tech support...........at Staples.

That lil nikka amazes me sometimes.

dont even know your brother but he giving me hope

I don't make anything for the hours/work that I put into my job

I went to school for THIS?

I'm doing something different than what I studieD in college. I went to school and majored in info systems and worked in that field for a while. Then I did that type of job in a health care setting and started training folks. Then since all the medical info is in computers they started wanting reports out the system for that. And that led me to the job I got now which is better where I dont do ANY IT or technical stuff, it's all about data and report writing for a really large health care organization out here.

I had a job interview the other day for a Data Analyst position in healthcare dealing with my medical records. I have a healthcare background already; just scored another interview for a EPIC EMR Trainer position. I got both interviews after applying directly through the company's website. No matter which job I get, I'm gonna be

I actually hire people. Let me give you a tip.

Experience trumps education. Why? You can pay experienced people less than people with credentials and they can probably adapt to the job much quicker.

What college students need to do is to do free internships while in college in their perspective field. You're not really doing it for the work experience (although it helps), you are doing it for the connections that you can make. It's never what you know but who you know.

You need to establish a network, and find somebody who can open doors for you. Degrees don't mean much. A masters degree with no actual experience makes it very hard to find a job with the salary you might expect.

But yeah... entry level with 4+ years experience is crazy

fukk you....

Big 4 should be your plan A and B.

Once you get the big 4 experience, you can do anything you want to.

This, the pay at the big 4 is better and what it means for your resume makes the long hours worth it.

Think, if you want to start your own firm and you have to attract clients. Who will clients rather do business with someone with big 4 experience who worked with only fortune 500 clients or a guy who worked at a regional firm and prolly only worked with one public client who isn't even fortune 1000 and a bunch of small companies.

If you decide you don't want to start your own firm and decide to go private, all fortune 500 companies place an extremely high value on big 4 experience.

For the guys who said GPA doesn't matter, that's not true. Depending on your industry its very important and companies set up cut-off marks were they won't even look at your resume, though this is only(mostly) for entry-level positions, once you have experience most companies don't care about your GPA.
