<p>I'm planning on going back to school to earn a degree in accounting. From what I read the BLS indicates there will be an increasing demand for accountants in the next decade, but what I really want to know is what do people who already work in the industry think. Is the demand for accounting there?</p>
<p>A second question: What would you say are the top 3 things an aspiring accounting major can do to be more employable? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>What you can do to be more employable in Accounting in 2 scenarios:</p>
<p>1) If you go to an average business school:
-Obtain a 3.8-4.0 GPA
or
-If you are a female, be attractive
or
-Be a decent Hispanic/Black student and make sure there are only a few in your program
or
-Be best friends with a recruiter</p>
<p>2) If you go to a top ranked business school:
-Obtain a GPA above a 3.3
and
-Appear competent</p>
<p>^^^well…yeah lol</p>
