I agree with the comments about accounting majors working as accounting clerks and bookkeeper jobs at small companies. It can happen to anyone who has been unemployed for a while and especially if you are the older worker. If you are not a CPA many companies won't hire you as a staff accountant. Working in an administrative or clerical role can be better than pivoting into sales or retraining. If you are the older worker it isn't always possible to get hired even if you do retrain to do something different.

Additional comment: I have been contacted by many recruiters about working for many of the companies where I had originally interviewed. I thanked them for considering me but always tell them that I was rejected from all of these companies in the past. I usually advise them to contact anyone who is currently a CPA or works for an investment or management firm.

Probably accurate. Most accounting majors first jobs are not paying what B4 do. This includes people taking accounting clerk and book keeper jobs at small companies. And of is 2 years old

Also note that it says bachelor’s degree holders. Many accountants fresh out of school now hold Master’s degrees, so presumably they would not be included.
