Accounting job outlook

<p>What is the outlook like in this, what's the avg. Starting salary and what kind of gpa do you need in college to get a good job out of college?</p>

<p>The outlook is great! Most of the interns working this summer for a Big 4 firm got job offers (BEFORE they even entered their senior years of college). Starting pay probably depends on what part of the country you will end up working in. I’m not sure what the other kid’s GPAs were. My Ds cumulative GPA is right at a 3.5. I think your involvement in the accounting mixers, accounting clubs (if there are any), how well you interview and present yourself, etc. all contribute to the likelihood that you’ll be selected for an internship-- more so than any previous employment that you may have had. My D only had a brief stint at a French bakery and a yogurt shop before getting this offer.</p>

<p>Thank you! Do I need to go to a prestigious university or is a state university ok?</p>
