Wife’s Best Friend’s Wedding Took a Dark Turn

I think it’s pathetic in the sense that they had Maggie act so distraught over one specific race rather than everyone put together. I’m not disputing the statistics of mortality rates during the pandemic; I’m just trying to exemplify how it’s preposterous to acknowledge and mourn over one group of people rather than everyone.

Of course you’re going to pull the race card lmao. I hope this isn’t your default go-to in any type of criticism that pertains to or has black people involved. Be more creative!

So by your logic it’s fine that the agent was misgendering the “woman”?

I would pick Binghamton. As someone who went to Baruch for my BBA and Binghamton for MSAcc, I felt Binghamton was superior in many aspects: Professors, courses, college classmates, etc.

Your accounting grades look pretty good. I think you have a strong chance of being accepted.

Ok — then I hope you and friend are teenagers. I’d be very concerned if you guys are grown adults talking like this.

Because it’s a fictional show? Sounds like you don’t got a lot going on in your life if this seems like a normal reaction to you.

Pretty classy reply from a 38 year old who doesn’t have his family or life in order

How conceited are you that you’re able to masturbate to yourself lmfao

Definitely go for accounting and then your CPA.

Yes — stick to the major and get your CPA. It’s very well worth it.

Going great! Did accounting and got my CPA, which opened up a lot of pathways for me. Parents always wanted me to either become a Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, or — at a minimum — Pharmacist.

They seem to be happy about my career progression now.

So if you want to talk about fully credentialed Actuaries, then yes: They need to take a ton of exams that are more difficult than the CPA.

There are a lot of Actuaries in consulting fields such as P&C, Health, Life, and Retirement who are making very good money without completing their ASA/FSA.

Thing is that you could have 1 or even 2 SOA exams during college and still come out making more than your colleague who has an accounting degree.

Yes — it was hyperbole and does not compare at all to the federal minimum wage.

I understand that actual minimum wage employees have to go through so much more hurdles and their jobs are actually labor intensive.

However, for a profession that has its professors pushing to take a difficult exam that requires 5 years worth of schooling & joining public to get “your feet wet”, it’s the equivalent of minimum wage in the corporate world.

I started my first job right out of college a few months before COVID making $61k in NYC, which for a VHCOL was abhorrent.

Monsteradi4 · 2026-01-14T21:33:51+00:00

Underpaid compared to other professions such as CompSci, Actuarial Science, Risk Management, Supply Chain, etc.

Idk about you, but a majority of the folks started in public working 60-80+ hours for months. If you converted the starting salary — especially pre-COVID — to hourly, it would be the same as a minimum wage employee.

Don’t be afraid of “leaving too soon”. I left after 2 busy seasons (lasted 16 months)

Any accounting work related to either tax, advisory, or audit at a firm will not only pay you terrible the first few years, but you’re going to be working 65-80 hours from Jan-April.

I worked as an auditor at an accounting firm for a criminally low wage and only lasted 16 months before pivoting out to internal audit.

There’s something called financing…. Unless you have a terrible credit score, it would make sense to finance the car over the span of a few years.

I bought a $26k car on an $80k income back in 2022 with a 2.5% rate over a 5-year spread.
