I’m 24. I was not working. I had just moved from ME to TX after graduating from college with a bachelors degree in accounting/finance and a minor in marketing.@Sam7sf
May I ask why you aren't pursuing a career in accounting or finance?
I graduated with an accounting degree, but not a very good GPA. I went to work for a small local accounting firm after college as an auditor and worked my way up and then moved into financial and sec reporting and obtained my CPA license along the way. There are a tremendous amount of opportunities within the accounting field. Accounting isn't my favorite thing, however it is interesting, I'm good at it and I get to work with a lot of great people.
There are near-entry level jobs in finance out there. If you have as little as a year of semi-applicable experience (even unpaid/volunteer work such as keeping the books for a family business or your church), you qualify for this. Lots of youngsters do that job and find that it makes a great line item on their CV when they move on.To answer your question: I am no pursuing a career in finance because I cannot find any jobs that are entry level. It’ll list entry level on the ad but then you scroll down and it says 2+ years of experience
Thank you everyone for your advice and suggestions, I appreciate the feedback.

It’s true. Different environment. Everyone here is pretty much giving him the same advice. Now people are replying just to pat themselves on the back.
Do you disagree with being thankful of being interviewed or advocate for kissing ass? Assuming the kid doesn’t walk in like a self entitled punk and has manners, he will be fine.
This mornings interview went great. However I don’t think I’ll be returning for a second interview. It’s not what I was looking for. They disguised a sales job which I wasn’t interested in the first place. I would’ve been on the floor at a Costco selling AT&T and direct TV products. I would’ve been one of the annoying people who try to offer you stuff that you ignore or walk away from. Not for me. Not to mention I’d have to use my own car and not be reimbursed for miles or gas while traveling anywhere from 25-50 miles each way.
No thanks

Well if you aren't working now it is something and it is easier to get a job when you have one.This mornings interview went great. However I don’t think I’ll be returning for a second interview.
