ALL of those scam . com links are now broken , screencaps anyone ? <| sep |> What i think as someone who is actually doublemajoring in accounting and finance is that the people if you want it hard enough you will always get a job . If you go to you university for however many years and get a degree with a good GPA and take it to an accounting firm it ' ll likely get thrown in the bin . Many people don ' t understand this , but there are so many people doing accounting and finance that employers can have up to 1000 people apply for a position that has 20 vacancies . That is why you need to ensure that you stand out from the crowd . You need to go to university from your first year and think i ' m going to earn this job . Essentially get a good gpa from your very first year and start applying for foundations programs at a range of firms . Apply for as many as you can , and even if you have an acceptance rate of 10 %, you ' ll eventually get something . Use University resources to learn how to write a CV and Cover letter , and learn how to use linkedin and network . If you do all of this in your first year and get some form of work experience , you would already be considered a reasonable candidate . Getting into extracurriculars and clubs and doing competitions and exchange programs are also very valuable , and you ' ll find that once you get into the system it ' s very easy to keep on doing it . At the end of the day if you do all of that from day 1 and you have good personal skills , you will find yourself interviewing at very good firms , like the best accounting firms in the world Big 4 . with alot of these firms they actually give people job offers before they finish university . Regarding future opportunities , if you can get a first job in Big 4 you ' ll have lots of opportunities further on . It is a very tough field and alot of people end up unemployed or working in very boring deadend jobs , but it ' s entirely their fault that they end up there . If you work for it , you will have endless opportunities . Have a look on linkedin and search for like goldmann sachs graduates or deloitte graduates and look at the strength of all of their profiles and everything that they ' ve done . You essentially have to be that good , cause there ' s so many people doing it . But if you go to university and take it easy and finish your degree you will certainly not get a good job .
