I found out last night that I got accepted into San Diego State University's M.S. in accounting program. Jesus Christ, I never thought it was going to be this easy for me to be accepted into so many graduate programs. I thought I was a screw up the entire time. Places such as SFSU, SJSU and SDSU all have admissions rate in the 20 to 30% for their computer science and accounting graduate programs, and yet I got in. Interesting.
It's good that I got into those various programs because the economy right now is getting worse. Here in the U.S., the New York Times reported an unemployment rate of 26% for people between 25-34, same as those in Greece and Spain. Various investment firms and hedge funds are writing papers to clients, telling them of a zero growth future. Even jobs requiring high levels of education are hard to find. Before going to UCSD, I wanted to major in civil engineering, but I found that they have an unemployment rate of 12%. When I was at UCSD, I was doing prepharm, but more and more pharmacy graduates are having a hard time finding work. Even among doctors, only 73% can get residencies, resulting in unemployed graduates. Absolutely frightening. I'm still undecided what to do because of these news.
