Frankly I was rather reluctant to respond to your message.  However, as it seems like that you are not quite convinced by Gilbert's comments, with which I totally agree, let me put in more relevant facts to see if they can ever "wake you up".<o:p></o:p>

 <o:p></o:p>

I used to work for various offices of the so-called Big-4 CPA firms in US and Taiwan for many years, and ever assisted the firms with their college recruiting activities in NYC.  While pursuing the LL.M., I am currently in the process of interviewing with the Big-4 firms again for managerial positions in both NYC and Boston.  <o:p></o:p>

 <o:p></o:p>

As such, I think I am qualified to tell you the following.  Practically speaking, your credentials would not even pass the very first screening process conducted by the HR at Big-4.  Nowadays only candidates who are at least eligible to "sit" for the CPA exam in some states like NY or CA, have a US-based undergraduate degree in accounting and strong oral and written communication skills (of course in English) will be possibly considered for an entry-level position there.  I don't see why any CPA firm (not just Big-4, but also those mid- and small- CPA firms) would want to recruit someone who seemingly has no idea of what accounting/aduit/tax are all about.  <o:p></o:p>

I don't think Gilbert was in any sense trying to discourage you; he was just telling you the truth.  You don't need to agree with him, but I would say that is your loss.  In fact, your words about your mentality, in terms of job searching, shows your immaturity.  If I were you, however, I would, as what Gilbert had already suggested, try to get a degree in business before anything else can be considered.            <o:p></o:p>
