yeh they're not hiring in droves like before, but agree the current picture doesn't seem as bleak as '09 per some of my buddies in the field.. yeh they're somewhat expanding advisory/assurance due to IIFRS and other intl standards in the pipeline..

Get into the health care industry you will be making great money and by your first year you can bring home 65K or more a year starting out. In accounting you start off 40k, that is not alot for NY, not even close.

Thanks for digging up a REALLY OLD post- amost 4 years old. Wow! Good work.
