I have one of those useless college degree majors (geography) and am interested in breaking into the accounting field (low level, clerk, bookkeeping work, etc.) But I have absolutely no background in accounting/finance.

I thought perhaps I could sign up with one of the accounting temp agencies and start with entry level work and eventually work my way up?

But I don’t know if they accept people with no finance background. Does anyone know?

I want to get into an accounting job but do not have experience. I have a bachelors of business finance and I will start on a masters of accounting program this year. I want to get some experience before I finish my masters program. What do I need to do to get started in the field?

I’m taking a basic finance class in college as a requirement and I have to give a 2 min powerpoint presentation on what I would do with a finance degree. Unfortunately, I have little interest in the subject matter so I’ll just have to make up something.

What career would be easy to research and talk about without containing too many complicated, confusing terms and technical jargon?

I am majoring in Finance but it seems like now everyone is majoring in business. Therefore, it will become difficult/competitive to get jobs because everyone has the degree and it may end up not looking that special because just about everyone will have one. What happened to all other fields of study. Ina few years college will just be changed to colleges of business (LOL) because no one wants to major in other fields, leading the fields of business to be very competitive.

I am currently in my first year of university doing a business and arts conjoint degree. For my business degree, I am double majoring in management and economics. For my arts I am majoring in classical studies.

I intend to work as a business consultant/analyst, particularly in the strategy and human capital department. I know classical studies doesn’t relate to my career path, and I’m doing it purely out of interest. I was wondering how beneficial switching to a psychology degree for my arts would be (I am also interested in it). Is this a major sought after by business consulting firms?

OBAMA FOR US

I see my college offers an associate’s degree in Business Management and I was considering it, but I’m not sure what positions that would qualify me for. Any ideas of job & salary? Ty!
Really? I thought educated people had class, and answered other people’s questions graciously, without being rude or sarcastic. But now that I think about it, you never promised you were classy or educated.

I do a little accounting and everything else for this payroll company. Will I have a better chance at landing a job compared to working as a teller? Or is being a teller better?

I’m planning on applying for a finance position in May after I receive my degree in finance.

Thanks!

If you already have a bachlors degree do you think online degrees can make huge differences??
I will have a BA in political science in 2 months and i was wondering if getting a finance certificate from an inexpensive online could make a big difference for me in landing a job?

I’m only a freshmen in college right now and I’m double majoring in finance and accounting. I was wondering how I can better prepare myself for a career in that field. Should I read some books or try to get hands on experienced. I’m looking to be a CPA or an Investment/Financial Analyst so how do I prepare for that. Any information you guys can give will help. Thanks a lot in advance.

My wife is being relocated to Los Angeles, California permanently which requires me to leave my current Finance job in Manhattan, New York. I have a BS in Finance and +2 years working in the financial industry. Working in the financial industry, I know California’s economy is one of the worst in the U.S. however I would like to get the opinion of locals on the job market, specifically the financial job market.
