CPA with 18 years in industry (mostly publicly traded companies). Will have to plan on never working in accounting again because no one wants me anymore.

I don't think I will be able to find another job in industry as no one seems to want my background anymore. I have no public accounting firm experience, and no one seems to want anyone with more than ten years of experience. It's too bad but this the reality of the situation.
