re: How did you find your current job/career?

I graduated college with a low GPA and no experience, which was 100 percent my fault for having issues and not dealing with them.

I decided to take the civil service exam, slaughtered it, and applied at multiple positions. I was extremely lucky and landed in a spot that allowed me to use my creativity to design new auditing procedures and test different accounting theories and practices while still having enough work to rest my brain every now and then. Some of those worked out, I was promoted a year after I was hired, and now I'm studying for my CPA. I honestly don't know what I'll do after that.

I had an "in" due to an internship in undergrad. Worked with that "in" for about half a year, then transferred to another department. Been in this department for 3 years.

I ate a lot of mushrooms and decided I wanted to run a farm. Transferred to a college where they offered a program that taught how to run one. Borrowed capital from family members to purchase property and equipment.

First job I made 38K out of college. I was hired because I wore a suit to the interview. No kidding.

Apparently other students were showing up in khaki pants. My boss appreciated the effort.
