Exactly. Every entity that receives and/or spends money needs an accounting staff. It doesn't matter if it's a public, private, for-profit, non-profit, or gov't entity there's an accoutning staff. Also, when Enron, Worldcom, Lehman and every other bankrupt entity went under: it was the accounting staff that turned out the lights for the last time. Finally, anybody wanting to go into Law would also benefit from an accounting degree. I would think that only a medical degree partnered with a Law degree would be the only combo that beats Accounting/Law credentials.

Well, you could do worse than the military, but I'm not talking any old joe-schmoe grunt, though. I'd recommend the Navy Nuclear program. You get 1-2 years of technical training and then serve 4 years on either a sub or a nuclear carrier. Advancement is quicker than many other rates (you basically make E-4 just for making it through the school) and an industrious person could come out with an AA degree, a GI bill to take care of a good chunk of school, no bills, and easily $100k saved up. Also, after going through the program, college will seem fairly tame by comparison. Not sure what the retention rates are now, but I've seen they bumped the bonus up a hefty amount since I was in.
