The first job I got laid off from was at a huge firm, but did receive a couple bad reviews and basically hated it regardless. So thought all my troubles would be solved going to a tiny firm. Nope, same shit different day and I got fired, not laid off so whatever. I look at it this way, I got a solid education and got what I came for, which was undergrad and a masters. doesnt matter how I pay for it as long as it gets paid for the way I want it to be. I wont be a slave or chain myself to a job/career for 20 years so I can make $350/mo student loan payments. Other jobs I get pay just as well and can pay bills just the same. When someone pays $100K for a liberal arts or history PhD but yet they arent in the same field they went to school for no one seems to mention anything. I dont see how its any different. Dont know if I will ever go back into the accounting field, depends if going into law enforcement doesnt work out.
