>> Batch 8057: The best way to prepare
would be to make a decision ahead of time,
make a decision about your career before you
graduate from college and then develop a plan
and utilize the different resources and
different people that you have in your network
to figure out what exactly you need to
do prior to graduate in order so that
when you do graduate you have your foot
in the door at a firm or at some agency
or at some company, some you know, 500
Fortune 500 company or wherever you decide.
As an accountant major accounting
one was definitely the foundation.
I actually started out as a
mechanical engineering major
and my first semester I decided to switch majors
to business and took my first accounting class
and that was with professor Christian
[inaudible] I got an A in that class and after
that I decided I would stick with
accounting and from that point on debits
and credits have been something
that I will always know.
