Re: Would you leave school for 60-75k a year?

Beautiful blonds always work with accounting. Thus they are stupid. Thus they are all beautiful and stupid. And blond.

If you need more help, you are definitely an accountant. So, either way.

These friends are NY and Philly based fwiw. If you do your accounting in Hong Kong, maybe it's different.
The point I'm trying to make is that a lot of asians do accounting. I did first year accounting in New Zealand, plus I have friends who are studying accounting and they agree that a larger percentage of the class compared with other subjects are asians.

Larger percentage =/= "all asians"

Also, OP is in Minnesota and not within spitting distance of southeast Asia.

Ah yes, all of those Vietnam refugee accountants...

But yeah, maybe I'm completely wrong and all the accountants in Minnesota are Hmong.

they're virtually capped at that rate for the rest of their career. You better off getting your degree, the salaries numbers are much better in the long run if you pick the right career.

I don't believe they're capped too tight out west. You can move up to more responsibilities and a higher salary but I don't imagine most stick around that long.


I did a lot of thinking and discussing. Barring some catastrophe or emergency that requires immediate cash inflow I will be returning to school this fall and seeking an internship for the spring.
