Veeky Forums I was a fucking loser who graduated at 24 with a shitty GPA in accounting...

>muh economy
>muh im brilliant and capable but SOCIETY SCREWED ME OVER

kek

whatever you say buddy

What are you so mad about kiddo? At one of my last interviews dude went into his email to find my resume to print. He had to scroll through like 50+ responses to his posting to find mine. Even if 20% of those were people were qualified that means there's 10 people going after 1 position. Seems like a pretty legitimate external problem to me.

Oops. I didn't edit Nevada out. Oh wait, this might actually help me. How about you go check out Nevada unemployment rates and compare them to the national rates and go ahead and shut the fuck up.

am i supposed to be impressed you failed a CPA exam, but, you know, you ALMOST passed?

face it buddy you're not "extremely adaptable and learn very quickly" you're just another mediocrity who doesn't want to confront his own inadequacies

Are you me? Also can't find a job in accounting. Passed one section of the cpa.

Could you just learn how to prepare taxes while in the down time take days off to prep for the CPA exam.

I'm thumbing through the exam prep right now, I downloaded Wiley CPAexcel's material, and honestly it looks more like law exam than an accounting exam. There's way more material on regulations than preparing forms.

the entire profession is not a pump and dump scheme.

here is the problem:

we hire a kid straight from school
we know he doesn't know what the hell he is doing, but we teach him.
he has to work hard during the day and study for his exams at night
we expect him to have the CPA exam finished in about a year or so. After 2 and no CPA license, we tend to part ways.

In your case, you have a low GPA. We look for 3.5 and higher in our new hires
You have already been passed over by the industry. Why would I want to bring you in when everyone else passed on you?
You have already shown you cant pass the exam.

See where I am going here?

This thread is depressing lol.

>See where I am going here?
No not really. I was under the impression that the consensus was that the exams are so hard they override GPA. Not to mention a lot of fims pay the exam fees for new hires that are studying. If they can find a new hire that themselves the firm can save some expenses hiring them. What changed was the fact that even at the CPA level the markets oversaturated.

I think you're getting a lot of shit because here you are posting largely about excuses you've made for not having passed the CPA exam. Don't compare yourself to the thousands of kids graduating from college this year, acknowledge that your situation is pretty shitty, and start fixing it by passing the damn exam.

If the local job market sucks, go to a thriving one so you can get your auditing hours or whatever and get your damn license. Don't make excuses about the costs of living or whatever.

+noWAHhD isn't going to hire you, nor will plenty of other assholes, but keep trying until someone finally does.
