Not necessarily a diversity hire. The first few years at a big 4 firm are intended to weed out people who don't belong. The corporate world isn't meant for everyone. Good for her for realizing it; but good luck getting another job, let alone one that pays as much. She'll have her only fans page up and running in a month.

It took about seven years of working 80-100 hours in the busy season and ~60 hours in the off season before I stopped feeling like a worthless hack.
The same applies to most professional degrees. There’s no shortcut when it comes to experience.

A masters degree even.Maybe I'm retarded but how does one have a degree in accounting and not understand accounting?

I am a CPA as well and went to work for a one of the Big 8 right out of grad school and didn't know shit about real world accounting. Things were different back then and It was a grind working 60 to 80 hours a week. Absolutely hated it and went to work for a large construction company after a little over a year. Best decision I ever made.
I had someone apply for a client manager position that graduated at the top of his class with an accounting degree from an Ivy League school that gave up on the CPA exam after failing multiple times.A masters degree even.
There was a recent article posted about an organic chemistry prof who noticed these future doctors, didn’t study, didn’t even know how to study, and were misreading questions on the test.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. College degrees are a joke and have been for a while now. I have a wall full of framed diplomas and a collection of letters after my name that aren’t worth the frames they sit in.
Now when I see “BS in Accounting” from an expensive school on a resume, my first thought is “I’m not paying for that shit.”
This should t be the case…

An accounting or any professional degree gives you the basics to understand concepts.. Corporate and tax accounting are very complex and takes years of experience to have a gain a true grasp of it. I am a PM on large construction projects with over 40 years of experience and while I learn something new on every project, it is the cumulative experience of all involved that makes a project successful. We hire all kinds of freshly minted engineers and put them in the field to work with seasoned superintendents to learn the business which is is not a quick process by any means.A masters degree even.

People with moderate intelligence can fake it until they make it...which can take several months. If you can't figure it out in a year, you're just lazy, and stupid.MSN

These schools are spoon feeding certain people to get their statistics up.
Political affirmative hires ????Can't believe no one's mentioned affirmative action hires in government, the idiots I had to deal with when I applied for my social security disability just about made me crazy, never seen such lazy incompetent people in my life , if they worked in the private sector, they'd be fired in a week , unless of course they were related to or were fucking the boss , but that's a whole other stoty.
Went down the CPA path with a Big 4 firm out of college. My degree, and high GPA, were mostly a gate keeper to the job as my learning started the day I joined the firm. I stayed for several years after which I was known as a "Firm Name CPA" or "Big 4 CPA" and nobody cared where I went to school - it didn't matter. At one point managed the on-boarding / training of new hires for a multi state region. It was 4-5 weeks of pretty intense training for new hires coming right out of college. Some failed quickly - many were gone in a few years after they completed the experience requirements for their CPA license (took 2-3 years) and moved on. We hired the "best and brightest" from certain schools only - we picked you rather than taking in resumes or applications yet many were not ready for it. Some, while star students, had never had a job, couldn't write, froze when trying to interact with execs, etc. I'm sure it hasn't gotten better. It was "up or out" meaning you had to be ready to go to the next level every year. There was no "good job but we're going to give you more time to master the necessary skills". You were ready or gone. I loved it! Went on well prepared to take on CFO and other exec roles and enjoyed the job at that level.This^^^

womAnMaybe the same reason how some women can't define what a women is.
Started at Peat Marwick right out of school in 1981. Managers referred to us as RGU's (revenue generating units). It was a grind and they treated associates like crap and expected high turnover at the associate level and was at 100% the year I was there. Hated it but would do it all over again because the experience benefited me greatly in my career. Everything we did was scrutinized unmercifully and the P66 reviews were brutal. I paid my way through college as welder on a large ranch and the oil fields so I was used to a rough and tumble work environment. I just came to the conclusion I didn't like accounting and preferred to build things.Went down the CPA path with a Big 4 firm out of college.

Gov is composed entirely of affirmative action hires, misfits, and criminals. These are the type of people that thrive in this horrid shitfilled environment. Government rewards incompetence and waste as it leads to higher budgets to “fix” the problem. It’s the complete opposite of how the private sector works. Show me a man that excels in the public sector and I can say without a doubt he is a worthless POS.snip….

Post your skin trophies! Lmao!I was at U of Dayton for Business with Major in Accounting during the early '80's
Watching the F-4 Phantoms (Rhino's of the 903rd) roaring over campus daily, as well as the other daily transient jets, motivated me to pursue a USAF pilot slot at Wright State ROTC program. Through lots of hard work and persistence (and luck - I originally had a Navigator slot after failing the first eye test. My senior year I passed the eye exam and was qualified for UPT(Undergrad Pilot Training). While #1 on the wait list, a UPT selectee decided he would rather be and engineer and turn in his UPT slot. The Commander called me into his office one day and gave me the GREAT news that I was going to UPT!
August of 1985 in the HOT sweltering summer heat of Columbus MS I had my dollar ride in the T-37. Puked first flight and passive airsick (I didn't fess up passive sick to avoid flight surgeon exam) the next few flights. Once I got acclimated to the jet I kicked butt and eventually graduated #3 (DG) out of 50 or so students.
Wanted to fly F-15, F-16 or A-10 after UPT and DG's (Distinguished Graduates) were 'promised' one of top 3 choices. But come assignment night I was given a T-37 Instructor assignment. After returning from Instructor Training at Randolph AFB, the wing exec told me why I got the T-37 instead of a fighter. the 2 star General Officer who's son was my classmate called to enquire about his son's assignment. Exec told the General his son was getting a T-37 assignment. The General replied "I thought my son wanted an F16?" A swap was made. classmate got the F16 I got the T37.
And when classmate got the F16; We (the other students) He' gonna kill himself in that jet (he was not a quick thinker and was on SMS in both T37 and T38 phases of training. (SMS = Special Monitoring Status) Students on SMS have exhibited either and or weak flying skills, academics, attitude etc. Bob was weak in flying and academics.
And Bob almost killed himself in the F16. He came within feet of becoming a lawn dart when he got lost from a 4-ship formation in Southern Europe. During a radar trail departure, he turned opposite direction of lead (he was #2). #3 pilot behind Bob said "Where are you going #2?" During the subsequent attempts to reform the 4 ship, Bob dove down through a break in the clouds but instead of finding the formation he was diving towards a mountain. HAL (the F-16 fly by wire computer) gave Bob the maximum 9 G's but he needed 9.2 or so. The F-16 engine intake scoop ingested olive tree branches during the dive pull out. The engine sputtered and compressor stalled and eventually quit from the damage. Bob ejected and was eventually picked up by some fishermen and returned to the base.
Bob was evaluated afterwards and instead of returning to F16, he was sent to B-52 training.
Anyway, side tracked on my Accounting story
Best decision I made in my 20's was to pursue USAF pilot training instead of sitting in cubicle crunching spreadsheets and taxes etc
My only regret was never getting trained in a fighter. Got rides in F15s, A-7s and A-37s but after the Gulf War 1 (1991) and the subsequent downsizing of the USAF, I was never in a position as a 2 year Captain to obtain a fighter job. Many combat experienced pilots transferring to the Guard/Reserves taking the few openings available. I only had 2000 hours of T37 time and would need a full course program which were only going to 2LT's.
So I then decided to pursue Airline job. Got hired in 1991 and still flying. MIA based and enjoying the flying and layovers in Latin America
Post your skin trophies! Lmao!
He has them, I’ve seen a few lolOuch....

Here in the hot weather of the Serengeti, we see the mighty Bender patiently hiding, waiting in the tall grass...stalking and scanning for his prey to expose himself. Once the poor prey, innocently types his life story, the Bender strikes! Leaving behind hurt souls, cheap hookers, and destroyed dreams.......and of course.....the skin trophies!
Here in the bush....we call it......"the stick and move". The Bender now moves on to his next prey........

Do not ever ask them (those in the dot gov). They all claim that they are the most dedicated, hard working people and so are the people that they work with.Gov is composed entirely of affirmative action hires, misfits, and criminals.

It’s the complete opposite of how the private sector works. Show me a man that excels in the public sector and I can say without a doubt he is a worthless POS.
Education, including many institutions, is merely a jobs program, designed to extract the maximum in wages, benefits, and retirement, in exchange for the minimum amount of work( typical union).A masters degree even.
