The above picture of shit in hand is not funny and does not need to be copied. It does not belong here.

There's about a 5% unemployment rate among people with a university degree and less than 2% for people with engineering and zero percent for accountancy degrees.

Go to school and learn to do something valuable = middle class with a job

It was not about people with a degree it was about recent graduates ~50% of which are unemployed or under employed

Also - accounting has a 4% unemployment rate

Wonder how effective this is or was.

Your crappy source:
http://www.studentscholarships.org/salary_ca/146/accounting_and_related_clerks.php

That's for accounting and related clerks; you know, like the payroll paper pushers?

This group has an average income of 32k/y (lumping accountants in with people that don't even need to know how to open excel, nice play)



Now for people with real degree in accountancy:
http://www.bls.gov/ooh/Business-and-Financial/Accountants-and-auditors.htm

61k/y

Real sources:
http://www.npr.org/2011/11/09/142165161/the-last-word-in-business
"At the top, with zero unemployment are accounting and also actuarial science "

Again:
http://money.cnn.com/2012/05/15/news/economy/zero-unemployment/index.htm
"In the U.S., college grads who studied astrophysics, geophysics, pharmacology and actuarial science had zero unemployment in 2010, "

So:

Orrrr you could not be an asshole and attribute a source to me that is not the correct one. If you had asked instead of assuming I would have linked it for you. This was the source I used:

http://www9.georgetown.edu/grad/gppi/hpi/cew/pdfs/Unemployment.Final.update1.pdf

Granted I did not bother to do the math and figure out the cumulative unemployment rate across experience brackets and it seems my estimate was off by a bit. I should have used the ~ symbol

I looked at your sources (Which I gather you did not) and came to the conclusions that you are an idiot who likes to be spoon fed information, take it at face value and not do any actual digging to reach your conclusions.

Apparently you are lazy too link the actual data (Or realized it supported my case and not yours but didn't want to advertise that) but lets take a closer look. The NPR article takes data from a WSJ article that takes its data from - wait for it - GEORGTOWN UNIVERSITY. Holy shit - thats where I got MY data from!

Lets see what the WSJ (or really - georgetown university) says about accounting.

http://graphicsweb.wsj.com/documents/NILF1111/#term=

Holy fucking shit - accounting has a 5.4% unemployment rate!

Soooo....the 'source' you used (which contains no actual data at all. Aren't you in grad school? Shouldn't you know what constitutes a source or not? You really think that NPR article counts as a 'real' source? Some of their articles might but a reference with no actual data to a report of a report does NOT count as a real source) incorrectly regurgitates information about the unemployment rate of accountants. Hell - if you had just read the comments that should have clued you in that something was wrong.

Again:

"In the U.S., college grads who studied astrophysics, geophysics, pharmacology and actuarial science had zero unemployment in 2010, "

Annnnd not one of those four degrees is an accounting degree - unless you are trying to make the claim that actuarial = all accounting degrees? As far as I have seen they are always sepratate from accounting and I made no claims about the unemployment % of actuarials.
