I graduated from college with a BBA in accounting in May 2002. My GPA was 3.87 on 4.0 scale. I have been a professional seeker of accounting jobs for five years. Most employers will not even consider you for good paying position unless you are CPA or have an advanced graduate degree. The jobs I have been interviewing for are basically clerk jobs in accounts payable, receivables, and the general ledger. The managers that I have worked for are all women and are bitter and nuerotic-- and the pay sucks.
I can't believe I spent four years of my life studying economics, intermediate accounting, finance, taxation, and cost accounting to be an accounts payable clerk. If you are college student, stay away from undergraduate degrees unless your going to use them as springboard to become a doctor or a lawyer.
My career is dead and I will probably be working entry-level construction for the rest of my life.
