<p>No Toshtemirov, you are wrong and have no idea what you are talking about. You’re just making it up as you go.</p>

<p>Takes one to know one, right whistle?</p>
<p>Tosh, here’s the thing. I don’t need any evidence to support why I am right. My assertations are all based on actual experiences at all varying levels of accounting versus your pure speculation. Do you need evidence to know that 2nd year staff members at Big 4 or even a small firm don’t sign off on the audit opinions/reports? Exactly, that’s why I didn’t provide any. Common sense buddy.</p>
<p>Whistleblower, no, I mean at a non-podunk firm or some kind of accountant at a big corporation. By “great” I also mean what the average accounting student aspires to, not some other measure(resulting happiness, career pay, etc).</p>

<p>I was not talking about signing off the audit opinions/reports. I just said that having a CPA may compensate a decent/low GPA. How can you support your statement, “Higher GPA at a legit school > CPA.” I do not know any source, or something, where it says that a high GPA>CPA. Yes, the high GPA helps you to get your first job, but once you get it and obtain some working experience, nobody will really care about what kind of GPA you had. On the other hand, at any website you can see the requirements for jobs, where eployers state that having a CPA is a big plus, but they do not say that a person must have a high/certain GPA, in order to apply for a job. Here is my statement:
Working experience + CPA= success/opportunities. Moreover, a high GPA may not help you to get promoted to upper level accounting positions, but the CPA does. Even if you say that a high GPA helps you to get promoted, but not at the same level with a CPA.</p>
<p>"CPA does not compensate for a low GPA. For undergrads, it’s all about a good school with strong on campus recruiting (Takes a lot of people from that school, not just “OH THEY COME TO MY SCHOOL CRAP”). The best jobs are typically found BEFORE you graduate, not after. Hence, why the CPA is overrated. "</p>
<p>Read the f ing post, it doesn’t say anything about a few years down the road. Yes I don’t need any support it for my comment up there.</p>
<p>By Dawgie,“CPA does not compensate for a low GPA. For undergrads, it’s all about a good school with strong on campus recruiting…The best jobs are typically found BEFORE you graduate, not after.”</p>
<p>I am totally lost here. I do not see how your second or any other sentence explains you statement in the first sentence. I guess it is written on the stone somewhere, but anyway I will reply to your “common sense.”</p>
<p>No, it is not all about a good school: if a peson is not competent for a certain job, he/she will not be recruited no matter which school they attend. By not competent, I mean that if a person has a low GPA, or does not have any internships and working experience. On the other side, a person from an unknown school has all what the employers need, and guess what, this person will get a job. </p>
<p>Dawgie states, “The best jobs are typically found BEFORE you graduate, not after.” Well, it is a completely wrong statement. The best jobs are found when you have more than five years of working experience behind you. No one will hire you to be a CFO/CEO of a company, while you do not even have an undegraduate degree. IT IS A COMMON SENSE BUDDY.</p>
<p>At some point you have to cut your losses because the person is too dense to bother with.</p>
<p>Whistle, are you talking about me? Is it your new way of insulting people?</p>
<p>Nah man, I got your back.</p>

<p>This is pretty much implying that a majority of the unemployed recent college grads are incompetent. Hate to break it to you, it seems you are adamant on defending that school isn’t important. This is probably because you attend/attended an awful school with weak campus recruiting. Unfortunately the world isn’t that fair, and many competent applicants do NOT get jobs. </p>
<p>You are naive my child, you need more experience in the job market. Take it someone with multiple internships during college, Big 4 experience, being laid off and then finding a F500 job. I know the accounting job market from all angles. School + GPA was a huge factor for me before graduating and post lay off.</p>
<p>Tosh: For the LAST TIME, I already mentioned this in the last post. “Read the f ing post, it doesn’t say anything about a few years down the road.” Do I need to repeat myself again? NONE OF WHAT I SAID RELATES TO A FEW YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. Your future looks bleak my friend.</p>
