my brother got his accounting degree in January and got a job by May. Try harderTell that to my friend back in NY w/ a Master's who's "over qualified" for damn near every entry level job that she applies for.And this is why education is borderline useless. Wish I realized this before wasting 145 stacks that I dont have to graduate with Master's in "one of the highest ranked accounting schools in the nation".second guy I told you about has a younger step brother who is 17 and is bringing home 200 a year basically running his fathers company.
Now even after I get a real job I still have to live with my aunt and uncle to clear my debt before I can even start my life.
Hard work will take you further than any degree.
With that being said, i never said having a degree is a bad thing. But if you can get the degree it should be done with hard work, staying up night and day studying. This goes to the degrees that actually matter, aint no one gunna hire someone with a "sports management" degree and pay them $100,000+ unless you got connections and can get you in the higher ups in the NBA/NFL/MLB etc. College has a bad perception that if you go there for 4 years, get a degree, you can walk out with a job. Thats not the case anymore from 2011 til now. Hard work. Thats all it is, if you work hard your current boss will see and promote you. If you like working by yourself, self-employed. Work your a** off and make a business/invent something/g out adventure/make your own connections etc. There is so much you can do in 4 years creating your own future, rather than going to college and letting the degree make your future. Yes, depending on which college/university, you can make alot of connections. But alot of people go to CC and expect to get a 6 figure job waiting for them. I mean dont get me wrong , there are people like that, but just not for everyone single person coming out of college.
What do you do?
I have an uncle(dad's friend) from Nigeria who donates a significant amount of money to school. He makes a lot of money as a Nigerian corrupt official. Basically he oversees the development of Nigerian housing and road projects. He also happens to own the company that gets contracted every time . Trust me his kids are getting in.I'm pretty sure everyone that has been admitted to Harvard has a significantly higher IQ than the average person.
Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both went to Harvard and dropped out because they had great ideas and applied themselves based on their intelligence and resources/individuals they met while in school. They are both the 1 in the million type. Everyone here on NT that uses the Bill Gates argument to not go to college thinks that they will be the exception. Unfortunately, more than likely you are not.
You don't have to go to college to be successful, but trying to convince someone they shouldn't is terrible.

also, the FBI and Secret Service always hires accountants
Did you have an internship while in college? Those are basically considered entry level jobs now. Companies aren't looking into hiring people with no related work experience.
False.
I will make 200k+ my first year out of my MBA and the only related work experience is a 9 week internship at a different company, where they didn't give me a full-time offer.
Firms want people who will do the best... sometimes that comes from the fresh thinking of people who have not been "trained wrong."
Can someone explain what the motivation is for people to become accounting majors? Shouldn't you just be a finance major and try to get a much better job? If you're already intending to be a pro at financial accounting, why not learn the market/company analysis aspect of it and try to enter a much more lucrative career path?
if you can get any finance job with an accounting degree...what kind of finance job can you get with a finance degree?Another regret of mine. I didnt have this kind of advice. I will get my CFA sooner or later so it won't matter. I even asked which major I should chooseCan someone explain what the motivation is for people to become accounting majors?

"you can get any finance job with an accounting degree"- EVERYONE at my stupid school
Okay, I guess I will be an accounting major.
Out of an MBA? Are you printing money?
well obviously it hasn't opened all those doors for you....Nice try. If I can get any finance job with an accounting degree why not get the degree with the most doors to open?
Besides there are PLENTY of finance jobs/firms where a lot of people started in accounting
Criminal Justice BS from Bridgewater State University
What major?
I didn't have an internship but I have 4+ years of experience working with juvenile offenders committed to the state. A BS + that experience should be plenty for an entry level probation job. I know plenty of damn near developmentally delayed people working for the state making much more than that. I'm talking people that can't construct a proper sentence yet their job revolves around filing reports.

This is ALL I need. I just want to be in a comfortable position where I can knock off all my bills but still have time to better myself. I'm spending all my time just to get by.My degree didnt make me rich...
but it literally put me in a comfortable position where i love what i do and im never overworked
i did not put in 4 years of hard work and partying for nothing
