<p>brian, </p>
<p>I’ve seen you posts from a while back, and it sounds like all you’ve been trying to do for the past couple of years is get a job/internship with big4 or get into banking. I think you need to step back and reevaluate your situation. You’ve been in and out of 4 colleges. You need to be more realistic and understand why its almost impossible for you to get a big4 or an IBanking job in your current situation. If I was your hiring manager, jumping from school to school is a huge red light. What that tells me is, you can’t commit and when you are failing or not doing well, you just leave and start over. It shows lack of determination and I would not want someone like that on my team. The worst part about your situation is, even if it is financial reasons, or medical reasons you have changed schools, you will never get a chance to explain yourself to me. There are too many qualified applicants and there are plenty of people who are much more qualified with relevant work experience. I suggest you go speak with an career advisor and find out what you want to do with your life in the near future rather than trying to work for a “brand name” company. Stop jumping around and focus on gaining relevant work experience. If you want to be an accountant and to eventually work for the big4, you can always join laterally down the road as a manager. This isn’t a sprint where whomever gets a big4 job will be successful for life and whoever starts elsewhere will end up being mediocre. You need to plan your career path appropriately and be more realistic with your options. </p>
<p>Find out where you want to be 5 years down the road. How will you get there and if you can’t get there in a straight line, just zigzag your way around.</p>
<p>So every class you dropped required thinking beyond what the book says? Yeah it will matter, you obviously have no quantitive cognitive ability.</p>
<p>CommentComment is absolutely right.</p>
<p>CommentComment, You have me confused with someone else. I’ve only been to two colleges; one cc, and baruch college.
Also, I know this sounds conceited, but I just want a job where i make a lot of money, or be a middle east studies professor (but that’s my second choice, partially because i think i may not be able to make it).
Big 4 bound, i got a a- average in the accounting courses i took. i dropped sociology because i didn’t hear the professor say when the midterm is so i didn’t study for it. I have good grades in english.
i must admit though that i was failing chemistry, and have poor grades in math (two c’s, a b in statistics, and an a + in college algebra, but i took two remedial algebra classes. one i got a b in, and the other i got an a. The reason i took two remedial courses is because i didn’t do well enough on the placement exam after the first remedial class. which actually is extremely common in my cuny CC
Also, i have a 3.6 from the CC.</p>
<p>" i dropped sociology because i didn’t hear the professor say when the midterm is so i didn’t study for it."</p>
<p>And you want to be an accountant? You can’t even be responsible enough to keep up with your own tests? This isn’t high school where your teachers hold your hand through test.</p>
<p>I was going through a lot then. i took a semester off to handle some things.</p>
