No kiddin... Firms are snappin up new Accountants like wildfire. Signing bonuses and all.

I also hear Associates are actually treated qute well (flex schedules, time off). When I was there you basically got pissed on and pushed past limit untill you quit or got promoted.

scavs, i voted for you to go back to school. i don't think you can ever have too much knowledge, it certainly won't go to waste. and of course it pays to learn a trade that is in demand, and that certainly is one. and like someone else said, a steady job is good for the benefits....

get your education, and who knows, maybe someday you'll be your own personal accountant rolling in dough!

good luck!!

When your job sucks and you have the capability to do something about it, I think you should give it a try. This has absolutely NOTHING to do with last week's hit. All that did was give me the freedom to try something like this.

I see no reason why I shouldn't try it while I am finishing my accounting degree. I am guaranteed a job after I am done given the market place(if I need it), I have an 'out' to why I was unemployed, and I can enjoy a summer, and I can put to bed the possible notion if I can 'make' it or not....I see no reason, it isn't like I am not working at something, I have plenty of cash to last me a year, which then I could make the decision to get a real accounting job, or continue at what I am doing.....

No idea what I am going to do, but I am leading towards the boss getting a fat old GFY

My vote is for E.....

Take it to Ann Landers.

What Do You Want With a Job???

Keep the job and get your degree..... living the way we all want to live, benefits, retirement savings represents a whole lot of exacta's you are committing to hit......

you might also consider the biases of future employers when they ask you what you did for a year.... "oh I lived off a monster pick 6 I hit at Hollywood"

create a strategy to get a career situation that gives you the flexibility to do the racing you love to do...IMHO

I/L

Actually my out would be that I stopped working for a year to focus on my accounting degree......

I see everyone's point. Not really sure what I want to do but this job sucks and I finally have something to do about it
