My gpa aint good enough. AND:

The big 4 want you to become robots.
It's just not my style.
I aint tryna work 70 hours a week and have no life. I want to do stuff while im relatively young (28). Even retail gives you a bit more room than that.

Even if you don't work for the big 4, as an accountant you'll still make nice money. Don't discount yourself.

oh i will i just dont wanna work for the big 4. i decided that long ago even if i had a 4.0 GPA.

So what are you willing to do to change your career path? Are you alright with having spent all that money for the accounting degree, and not doing anything with it?

Do u have money saved? Can you afford the risk of not being employed there? If not then I would not do it. I would need a huge safety net. Your location says DC. It's high as hell there.

i've heard. But I like my gumbo lol. (New orleans)

If you have at least a 3.0 you need to head to your career center and get an interview with Shell! If you're a minority, even better. If you don't have a 3.0, attend those career fairs.

The career fairs....i already have a better job than what they offer except one place not too far from me, but you gotta have the completed degree to apply...

i had a a recruiter for waffle house wanting me to go into their Management trainee program ($18/hr).

sidenote, coworker tried to get me on primerica.... :laff: i died.

speaking of jobs, my last job just contacted today me to set up a phone interview for a senior position for the job I had there previously. I'd have to go work in an office again, and I told the wife, that I probably wouldn't make the move for less than 10K increase in salary from what I'm currently making.

Take that interview! If they are calling you back, they want you and will pay you!
