    Hi all,

    Well I am a new accounting grad decent GPA 3.2 and experienced bookkeeper. I am a little older than the norm for new grads I am in my early 30’s and I cannot land a job

    I’ve been thinking that getting the passing the CPA exam will give me the edge I need…. bur I really don’t want to spend too much money so any ideas? Also, do i really need to spend 3000 dollars on materials or can i go cheaper?

    Thanks for any feedback!

    If you have a CPA license and do not have tattoos on your forehead then you will be able to get a job.

    I passed and got my license last October. I still havent been able to find a job. I have several strikes against me; having my license has not been enough to overcome.

    1) older
    2) worked in a different industry/self employed for the past 15 years

    so yeah, getting your CPA is NOT a magic ticket.
