The biggest problem with being an Accounting majorAccounting
The biggest problem with being an Accounting major at PCC is the lack of accreditation. If your goal is to become a CPA do not go to PCC. There are people that do sit for the CPA exam, but the hassle that you put up with is not worth it. In many states, you can’t take the CPA exam unless your degree is accredited. Also, with 150-hour rule, most students need to go on to graduate school before they take the CPA exam. Although you can get into many graduate schools with a PCC degree, not all of them will accept your degree and it could take a lot of time convincing the grad school that your degree has prepared you.

As for the actual quality of the Accounting department, they are top-notch people that are willing to help and have years of experience. The classes will prepare you for the CPA exam as well as classes can, but experience is what helps, especially in auditing. The best thing you can do for your career is to get an internship with an accounting firm to gain some experience. Experience will outweigh your degree in 2 years, so if you already have a year worth of experience, it will help you immensely.

Question
I went to PCC, and I would notEducation
I went to PCC, and I would not reccommend it to anyone. Credits will not transfer, Staff are hypocritical. You must dress and act a certain way to be accepted by the staff. I also went to the high school all the way through which I would reccommend only because of the higher education. It is advanced compared to other schools. As far as the college is concerned I would deffinitely rate it a D. I would suggest high school students and college students to deffinitely research PCC thoroughly before attending. It is definitely a lifestyle change for those of you who grew up in an environment where you could come and go and where and say anything you want. You will be treated like children by being told what you can and can't do and wear. What time you have to go to bed and being told even to make your bed. If you have any questions please contact me. I can tell you anything and everything you want to know.

Question
My boss/coworkers consistently tell me what a hardOther
My boss/coworkers consistently tell me what a hard worker I am and that I am doing well. That is in part due to my early training as a child, but it is also due to the fact that I could not goof off at PCC, I had to get my work done on time, even if it meant not going shopping, or spending a nice saturday inside in the library. You can't skip work, or fudge a deadline in the real world, neither should you do so in your preparation for the real world. Life has rules, so PCC may have rules that are strict and strange, but they prepare you for real life.

I chose to go to PCC, just as many others chose it. The difference is that I realized that whining doesn't do any good. There were some rules I didn't agree with, and some I down right hated, but whining didn't do any good, so I didn't (ok, so sometimes I did, but I tried to keep my trap shut:))

PCC has great education, the teachers are really nice, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I did have two not so nice teachers, but that's not bad out of four years, and they weren't even in my major.

There were hypocrites in the student body and the faculty to some extent (mainly the student body) in fact, there are several people that if I ever see them again, As the saying goes it will be too soon.PCC is not for people who want to party all night, or who don't care about doing well in college. As I said I didn't have much trouble with the rules just because I didn't see the need to break them, they weren't hurting me. If you don't want to work, then don't go, but if you want to be in a good school then go. But it is definitely not for everyone, and I say this as a former female student, since the rules are a lot stricter for the women.
