Or is it only true for people who are graduated in Finance and Accounting. (I am graduated in Marketing from a business school)
How is the market job in England ?
French language skills are highly valued in many industries.
I work for an IT company, but because it's a large multinational I hire people across all job functions in the company including marketing. If your profile (education and recent experience) was a good fit for the position, being fluent in French would be the one thing that would guarantee you a place on the shortlist.
The only thing is, if you've only just graduated, you might find it easiest to stay in France to get a couple of years experience before you come to the UK. This is because in any industry, competition for places on graduate schemes and for entry-level jobs is fierce, and the one thing that determines success is what university you went to. If you went to a French university, it's likely that many people won't have heard of it (even if it's one of the top ones). But, if you've already got a couple of years experience, then employers are going to look at your experience, not which school you went to.
I am considering a career in forensic accounting. I will graduate with a degree in accounting in the Summer 2008. I am then planning on going back to school for my MBA and CPA. I was reading some where about a CFA, I'm assuming is stands for Chartered Financial Analyst. What is a CFA? Also, does anyone know of any forensic schools? I've searched and searched and it seems like none exist.
I live in Virginia 
A CFA is helpful for investment professionals, portfolio managers, investment bankers, analysts–basically anyone dealing with securities.
If you want a career in forensic accounting, a CPA would be infinitely more helpful.
I'm not sure where you live, so I can't tell you if there are any schools in your area. My advice would be to ask one of your accounting professors–he/she would be able to point you in the right direction.
Good luck
EDIT: If you're looking for a good forensic accounting program, your professors would be your best resource. I'm not an accountant, so I've never really researched good programs. I know this is totally redundant, but its your best move.
I am very interested in accounting and currently pursuing a degree in it. I know that it is profitable, but how profitable. Is it profitable to where I can live in a million dollar home in a million dollar neighborhood, or is it profitable to the extent where I live in a nice home in a middle class neighborhood. I am very ambitious so do I need to acquire other degrees like a law degree or a mba to make the most of it. I also have an interest in law so would it be o.k to get some kind of law degree in graduate school or something else instead so I can make the max in terms of income?
If you're as ambitious as you hint, (a) further degree(s) are essential!
With a basic degree in accounting, it would take a few years of work to get a decent middle class salary. With law school, a corporate position catapults you to above average on the middle class scene [think $160K-plus for NYC - entry level 2007]. You can leverage your Accounting degree with a concentration in Taxation, if that appeals to you. You may also stick with mainstream corporate/financing structures or regulaton and compliance. With an MBA, you can begin in Investment banking or consulting for the same salary level as the Law Associate, factoring in excellent bonuses and upward mobility in real terms.
A basic degree in Accounting is not very competitive without a few years of experience. And even then, you will realize that you'll need the added education to progress at work. With additional professional skills or education, your horizon begins to look better – both at entry level and from a career perspective.
I recently graduated from college with a BBA in Accounting. I graduated Cumme Laude(sp?) with a 3.6 gpa. I have found that I no longer have an interest in accounting and am wondering what sort of careers I can get in other fields. I would like to get into psychology and am wondering if I would be able to get into this field without having a degree in it. I am open to the idea going back to school for a masters, but I really need to find a good job, that has the salary and benefits that a college degree provides. Any ideas? I am open to pretty much anything that requires a 4 year degree because I don't want to have wasted the last 4 years. Sources would be great as well. Anyways, thanks for all responses.
You'll find out once you start interviewing. A secret that most undergraduatesd don't fully realize is that after getting the first real professional job for advancement the major becomes less important than having the first degree. Ask around, you will find a high percentage of people after 120 or more years out of university working in areas other than what they originally studied.
from the album, AnhedoniaI want to go to graduate school this fall but I am unsure of which major I would like to take. I have a BS in Accounting and a BS in Business Administration. I am working full time and I would like my Master's Degree but I want to know which major is easier. I have heard that Finance is way easier than Accounting, and since I only have experience in Accounting I can't really compare the two. How about you?
Finance for sure. The CPA exam is harder than the State Bar Exam for lawyers.
