Accounting major in school is just theories gear toward cpa....what you do in the work force (not cpa) work is different....

It is tough to get that first job in accounting...You will need to start somewhere at the botton...i.e. a/p...a/r..to advance in a big company..you will need a ba in business if you want make management...then you will need mba...if you don't have any of those...it will take allot more time to grow and get the pay...

If you are a software geru..i.e. ms access or ms excel...you will do good in the corp accounting world...Almost everything is simpler and systematic...

Temping is a good way to get the experience....also it is a good way to figure what you like and what you do not like in differ accouting jobs...also allot of temps services will not give you work if you do not know your accounting abc's...allot of times you will work as a data entry positions...and you would need to kiss some As s to get good work...

Good luck...hit me up if you need some help...I am an accountant... and is currently working for a United HealthCare...
