What’s the master meme?

How tf are you supposed to get experience if you have no connections to get in the field that you wanna have experience in?

Bro internships or starting at the bottom or freelancing prior to graduation

Start studying for your cpa maybe. That’s cheap to get and may help.

A lot of it is probably still in your recent memory so nows not a bad time to do it

literally all my friends who graduated college (7 years ago) all have pretty high paying jobs or have just started opening their own businesses + they all newly married + own homes n s*** and can afford to vacay to really nice places like every other month.

while all my homies who didn’t go to college are all just working random jobs or getting promoted at dead end workplaces but still able to support themselves n s*** but their igs def way less lit/fun lol

just stick w it if your are almost finished.

everyone on ktt always looks down on ppl who don’t own a business or who don’t mind working for someone else but tbh once y’all grow older I feel like your opinions might change.

also op j have a friend who’s been working in accounting for about 8-9 years now makes great money but the first two years after graduating college he had to live w his parents and he just worked for his uncle until he found a real job.

trust me it might suck now but you have a way better chance at eventually landing a high paying job over someone w/o a degree.

Only sept 5th

this is why networking is so crucial. when ppl say who you know/connections > experience/degree they weren’t lying fam

been known

So which Illinois school?

UIUC? ISU?

It's only worth it if you're trying to go into something that you're really interested in and pays well. IDK why people go to college for 4 or more years to get a degree that earns them 40k a year. I hope the best for you, good luck with finding a job and do what makes you happy.

Also IDK your relationship with the girl you met but Houston is a great city with a lot of jobs available, good lifestyle, low cost of living, ect.

OP it's not the college's fault you didn't get experience while doing 6 years of coursework

Get your LinkedIn game up. You'll have a solid gig within the next 6 months if you put in work.

If u rly dig in and look for relevant jobs you will definitely find one

From what I know ppl want accountants who are good with the billing software? If u have experience doing actual accounting u should be fine I'd think.

Either way the worst thing u could do for ur career is get a job that's irrelevant to ur education

also for all the young ktt kids.

there is absolutely nothing wrong w going to community college if you plan on transferring somewhere better

Don’t let your immigrant parents make you think otherwise

CC is especially useful for those who don’t know what they wanna do/major in.. Instead of being undeclared for two years at a uni and paying crazy money just to take GE classes you can do all that at CC for the low.

Only thing that sucks about CC is it just feels like high school 2.0 but just focus on getting out of there in two years.

Let me holla at the houston girl if you cant have her tbh

Low key I like morning after way better

You live in Houston? Baby girl Italian, pretty blue eyes, thick blonde hair, nice curvy body im really gonna miss her but she’s 20, but also again she was engaged to a 42 year old before he died so idk age might just be a number

THE MOST IMPORTANT POST THIS YEAR FAM

Bro i don’t have any experience in accounting besides college course work, obviously if I had accounting work experience I wouldn’t be making this thread lol

I moved to Dallas with my fam before permanently moving to Illinois so I know Texas is lit. I have been to Houston twice and I didn’t like it as much as Dallas but I heard Houston and Dallas are the top most lit affordable cities to live in. The only thing that holds me back is that it’s gonna be very far away from home and this girl doesn’t even know how long she will stay there

You spoke fax about LinkedIn but I hate how colleges expect you to work and go to school at the same time. Everyone can’t juggle school and work at the same time fam

Cant help but laugh at dumbasses who thought school alone would be enough

Have no pity for the small minded

Wow ducks to you friend

Instagram @? Ill tell her we were classmates and i moved here last year lmao

Hey man, I got a Bachelor’s in Information Systems & got in the exact same situation. I worked at a goddamn IT call center for 2 years outta college, only making $15/hr, while spending an avg of 1 hr per call walking 50 year olds through resetting their Apple ID PW

However, I got reached out to IT staffing agencies & got IT certifications, and now have a great IT job making $50k/year

My advice to you is to look into Accounting staffing agencies in your area, get as many other Accounting certifications you can, and apply to 1-2 jobs per day. Make sure you customize your resume & cover letter for each job you apply to, and tailor it to the job requirements listed in each job posting.

Hang in there man! It’s a harsh realization that having a degree is no longer enough, but you CAN get through this!!!!
