<p>I graduated in electrical engineering for about a year now. I can’t find a job in engineering. I have taken the first two accounting classes. They are intro to financial accounting and intro to managerial accounting. I got 4.0 in financial accounting and a 3.7 in intro to managerial accounting from University of Washington. My GPA in engineering degree is 2.97.</p>
<p>I am currently thinking about ditching the engineering career and go for a career in accounting. If I can do really well in accounting, I am assuming a 3.5 or better for all my accounting classes. When it is time to look for a job, will accounting firms overlook my engineering GPA. and focus on my accounting GPA. I read one of your threads and you said the accounting profession requires a high GPA.</p>
<p>Thanks,
