Be sure to cut your hair when you get hired at a CPA firm. :P

My friends all got jobs starting out over 40k with their accounting degrees. Is it a lot harder with 2G2D, or what?

It shouldn't be particularly hard, given that accounting is a fairly specialized profession.

With that GPA, you could probably apply to a graduate program at Harvard or one of those schools and then get a much better job later on because of the name on your diploma.

Yeah, that's definitely something that I could pursue. However, I foresee the next six months to a year being a bit weird for me. I'm having to make a decision about whether I want to go straight into accounting, pursue further education, attempt to make something of the writing ability I have, or somehow manage to juggle one or more. I can't help but feel that whatever choice I make I'll end up regretting it somehow.  :-\

What kind of writing would you try to do? I've got a few novels in the works, and hopefully after my travels are done, I'll submit some query letters and try to land an agent.

Fantasy, scifi, horror, maybe some down-to-earth drama. I've got dozens of ideas that are fairly varied, although they're more concentrated in the first two genres.

I'm close to finishing a 900-page scifi story right now, so that's added a bit more weight to the decision.

I only have one year to go before graduating, I wish I could get a GPA as good as yours but my major is way too hard for the students to achieve anything close to that

Don't worry us computer scientists have it rough.  A 3.9 in accounting is like a 3.0 for us  :tophat

I don't think it's even possible to get my GPA up to a 3.5. :'(

Aren't most accounting firms willing to pay for the CPA exam and grad school if you decide to go? You should go straight into accounting if that's the case.

Most of the big ones will. But I still need 26 hours before I can sit for the CPA exam and right now I'm really burned out on school in general.
