Finding An Accounting Job In The Real World

After graduation, degree holders assume they wont have to lift a finger trying to find a job; the job will find them. In some cases, that is true. However, for most people, finding a secure accounting job can be a bit of a challenge.
Just because your degree is in accounting, doesn't mean you have to be an accountant. There are plenty of other options. Such as,

• Financial Planner
• Auditing Clerk
  
• Tax Specialist
• Budget Analyst
• Financial Examiner
  
• Tax Accountant

You can also find work at government offices, corporations, and public accounting firms. Another option could be to start your own business after becoming a certified CPA.

There are many search engines online that can be very helpful to you when searching for a job. Here are some examples:
