<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>So I'm currently a junior in the accounting world's eyes, so will have completed 150 units by the end of my senior year next year if I stay on this track. I understand that accounting internships are absolutely crucial for landing full time positions, especially in big 4 regards, and I only got one second round interview with a national firm which ended up denying me an offer. I thought the interview went really well and that I clicked with all the interviewers.</p>
<p>My overall GPA is 3.8, accounting being a 4.0. I'm involved in Accounting Society/Beta Alpha Psi, and have work experience over the years (however, none that relate directly to accounting, more dealing with customer service/retail). </p>
<p>My question to you is, should I just tough it out, stay on this current path I'm on, and try to find some sort of bookkeeping position this summer that will give me a little bit of accounting experience in the real world? Even if it's unpaid. OR should I extend my graduation date a semester so I have one more summer, making me a junior again next year. </p>
<p>I'm just really worried about my future after graduation and I'm trying to figure out the best possible path. </p>
<p>Thanks so much in advance for any advice!</p>
