College Majors Business Major

<p>Some background info about me...</p>

<p>I have 3.4 cummulative. 4.0 in major. My major is in accounting. I left UCLA 15 years ago under academic probation as a senior. Have no desire to return to finish my music degree. I am taking pre-reqs at my local community college in the San Francisco area.</p>

<p>I'm 40 and am too old to go for the BiG 4 firms. I want to work in government or nonprofit (I have extensive work experience in these sectors). IRS agent looks appealing. I don't care about making 6 figures. What is more important to me is making a comfortable salary, job stability, good benefits, and work/life/family balance.</p>

<p>Prestige of the school is moot at this point especially with my gpa. So Haas School of Business and USC is out of my league. I want to go to a AACSB accredited school with a reputable accounting program that will prepare me for the CPA exam. I also dont want to spend an arm and a leg as I have a family to support and a mortgage to pay.</p>

<p>Below is my prospective list of schools. Which schools would I be able to get into considering my gpa and background? Would it matter to employers if I went to a junk school?</p>

<ol>
<li>SDSU

<li>SJSU</li>
<li>SFSU</li>
<li>CSUF</li>
<li>UCR</li>
<li>Sac State</li>
<li>Cal Poly SLO</li>
</ol></li>

<p>No comment on which school you can get in, you can check each school’s website for transfer students profile for an idea.</p>

<p>Have a family AND a mortgage, want to work for government, I wouldn’t go to the schools out of bay area if I were you. SJSU has a good acct program. Franchise Tax Board hires quite some graduates there, IRS also recruit there. Also look into SFSU.</p>
