I was given notice a month ago that my job would be terminated in August. I've been looking online and applying everywhere with no response. I'm just wondering in anyone else out there's been laid off and how long it took you to find another job? Did you go into the same field or a different field? Are you making the same amount? I was making good money, now all the jobs I see for the same position have low starting pay!

Do successful actors/actresses really assign the job of paying their taxes to the manager and/or accountant? I ask this question because it seems almost all entertainers that fail to pay taxes and owe the IRS always blame their manager and/or accountant. Are managers and accountants really responsible for paying someone else's taxes?

I'm still in high school (senior) and I definitely want to become an accountant. I plan to attend a 4-year university that offers admission into their business school after or during the course of the 4-years. They offer a 1 year program (in addition to the traditional 4) in accounting to get an MBA. I was wondering which job title, right out of college, I could get. I've been looking through careerbuilder.com and I found a lot of accounting jobs but mostly Sr. Accountant or something analyst. Which is the first job title I could get with only a BBA then MBA. Then with a CPA license?
