Getting your master's degree is a great accomplishment and your whole family should be proud of you but......have you gotten your H1N1 vaccination yet?
Ok, my slight accomplishments are double majoring at UofA with crim jusics/public managemnt...who cares. Got a masters from sdsu last september in accounting(08).
So i think im so smooth i have my major at the time, well, yaaaayyyy....NO one gave a at the time of the econ meltdown....and now so much time has gone by from my last job which was two years ago while in grad school doing auditing stuff....Well lets just say I got lucky and my gparents bought beachouses in the 80s and now have one-only because i can stay there for free-but cant get a damn interview no matter how many jobs i apply to with my resume. I really think now it was dumb to go to grad school....just worked out it was dumb. IDK just um seeing if other spurstalkers have felt the econ let down. Im just trying to stay positive but hard at times. All i can say is getting my masters was a waste of ing time!!!

You have a masters- you can do whatever the you want. If you can't get some high paying accounting job, go be a teacher or some . But as long as you're able to eat and pay for internet access and chill all day in a rent-free beach house, don't get depressed because you aren't making money as a pencil-pushing, desk jockey.
Smoke some weed and get your priorities in order.
guys thanks for that-but im not lying i have my masters in accounting from last september and double majored in undergrad....maybe i need to start looking elsewhere than san diego....i think the point is now people want good work experience and all i really show is , well, im good educationally wise. But, yea, thanks guys, but no matter how much I love my sitch in diego, Im going to have to move, so I just gotta start applying in places besides diego. ha. Just the way it goes......
But i made many mistakes, i should've interned whatever, either way love diego but hate that no one even gives me a damn interview!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do any of you clubbers/long time spurs fans know anyone who wants a beginning auditor/acct? I'd love to move to SA, but like anything else highly doubt, ha.
The point is, I don't think you should feel like having a good education is a waste. You might not be able to get the career you want now, in San Diego. But like you alluded to, that won't always be true, everywhere. And if you can't get a career now, maybe it will lead to a better one later- life unfold in mysterious ways.
In the meantime, I'd try to keep positive. Work experience or no, you've put yourself in a much better position than most people. No sense getting depressed about things you can't control.
lol same as you but bachelors atm doing jack for 2yrs now collecting dusts
Masters degree + free beachhouse in San Diego = depression? dude...seriously..
thanks balli for ur input. idk, yea its just ridiculously depressing trying to apply for accounting/auditing jobs since last september. And honestly at this point im almost like this haha. I mean ive been studying for my cpa for the last 4 monts-cpa anyone? well its 4 test all u should only test for one in an open window ha. .....im just saying i've never been a depressed guy and now i find myself as days/weeks go buy being like wow u are a loser. ha. i just feel that way now. Im sure things might change but this is a thread as where im/ur at. three wprds IT SUCKX BALLSZZ
sorry spurs but yea. ha, not a depressed guy ever who would say i need pills-cuz thats re ed but yep.... not lying my bro, ha, not lyin. And please dont give me the apply to here and there because ive applied to everywhere, so save that my brah
i was going to do the cpa course, but i think its useless, theres plenty of ppl out there with cpa certificates that are unemployed, no point in me wanting to compete for high end jobs when i just want a 50-60k job...thats about it...not in managerial positions bs.
thats some bull man, really. OK, get this, if you have the money to pay for the tests and the study/knowledge....u become a CPA....no one, no professor, no stupid boss, not a g0d damn person could take that away from You> you better fess up and do it u little pussy
That's the kinda fight I like to see......hey, maybe you just need a change of yourself..ask yourself.....what kinda person do people see when you walk in the door? Do they see someone who is gonna be reliable? Someone who isn't a quitter when things get tough? Someone who is professional, and puts out a professional air about themselves? Someone who if they met in a professional manner, they would qualify that person as highly qualified for the job they are administering....if not, that's the person you need to become......change hurts...
Well, I feel you man. If you're genuinely depressed, I hope it gets better, and I'm sure it will. My wife went through a bout of depression..not easy, but she got through it, and I'm sure you will too. I'm not one of those guys who likes to kick people when they're down, so I won't be telling you to apply anywhere or anything. Have you ever read or watched "The Secret"? It helped me when I was having problems with being depressed, and it happens sometimes when you're in sales. Just an idea. I'll pray for ya.
I don't think you should be depressed considering the level of education you have. I would think you'd be in
.
I would say you are in a better position than most out there on the unemployment line.
I'm in a similar boat. I graduated from a top 30 university about 2 years ago( and have a good amount of loans to repay) and had a great job that I loved and made decent money. Then, my firm changed ownership, and the dude (who barely knew me) let go a bunch of people. This happened like a year ago. Since then I worked a contract job for another lawyer for money, but that obviously ended. Then I got a full time job (for moeny again) but it was so extremly stressful then I had to quit, otherwise I would have had a breakdown. I very rarely get interviews. Whereas when I was applying the first time around, I was turning down interviews. When I do get an interview once in a blue moon, it doesn't go anywhere, and I feel they are looking for somebody more experienced, since there are so many people with good credentials out of a job right now. I go through periods where I send a lot of resumes and even call comapnies. But I also go through periods where I just give up. I have a serious anxiety disorder which is just wonderfulso I can only apply to low stress jobs. But being uenployed and having nothing meaningful to do all day is really not helping. Ugh .
So education is not the key?
I think that being confident and good with people (also having lots of connections) and looking the part is the key. Education comes after that.
Interesting....wouldn't education give you that confidence and those connections? You hobnob with the other higher educated folks over martinis and appetizers at the swankier clubs?
I think that sometimes it does. But if you don't have the innate confidence and that "it" factor it's kind of hard to learn. And if you are shy to begin with, you won't make that many connections, even with a degree. So, I think personality comes first, then education.
I agree with this. Education just gets the attention, it is up to you to seal the deal.
Pray about it. That should work.
So in other words having a top notch degree won't necessarily help a guy like this?
Not only does he need a top notch education but he also needs to go to "Cool School"?
And Trainwreck has to worry about getting laid too!?!?!?
It's honestly 90% who you know as opposed to what you know. I know that cliched, but it's the truth. It's either A) Know somebody who is somebody B) Marry into money C) Get lucky
There are tons of people who are successful on their own merits, but in the large picture they make up as big a percentage of people as one might think.
I'm doing really well right now and I think it's because of my personality and my ability to learn things fast. Being in one of the least recession plagued city in the nation also doesn't hurt.
you dont want to move here... SA sucks ass!
you think youre depressed now, wait till you get to SA coming from beautiful SD.
