Question

Do employers really care what college you graduated from if the field you are entering is Accounting?

Answer 1

90% could care less -- that might want to know gpa and if you have taken the cpa exam and if so passed!!!

Answer 2

Where you went to school will always matter with employers.  It doesn't mean you won't get a job but if you are competing against someone from a better school, employers tend to go with the better school.
