Thanks. I went to West Chester University, and got a B.S. in Accounting. The job is a plant accountant position. Its my 3rd week and so far its been pretty lame. They are too busy to train me and don't have anything I can do so I pretty much have to sit there and play around on the computer for 8 hours. Longest days of my life.
I'm currently doing a 5 year masters program for accounting at mizzou (I don't graduate until Aug 2013). We have a for-credit internship during our second to last semester where the company assigns us a mentor to train us. It saves them a lot of money since they don't have to pay us while we are getting trained. They then take full advantage of the training by hiring you before you graduate (granted that you intend to sit for your CPA). It's definitely a good deal for all parties.

you are giving them too much credit.....they just change the order of the chapters 90% of the time.

That sucks. At least you have a job though.

I hear you! It's REALLY annoying when they screw you out of hundreds because the publisher got greedy. It's like the new editions only change a few words/graphs and then expect you to pay the full price for a new book. UUGGGHH!!
