***Warning, this is a bit lengthy*** You don't have to have a 6 figure job to make money. Put aside so much money a month, or per pay check, if you can. Start investing now, I'm not joking. Most places will waive an initial IRA deposit of $2000; If you sign up to have so much of each check deposited. There are also many other options. If you have a high-deductable insurance plan, open up an HSA. Most banks will let you start skimming your money and transferring it to an investment of some sort, after you reach a certain balance. Plus, these are interest bearing accounts, with some of the best rates you can find for savings. The trade-off, however is that if you make a withdraw not for a medical purpose, you generally incur a 10% penalty. Personally, I would suggest an IRA, as our generation is *most likely* not going to be able to rely solely upon Social Security. Additionally, Social Security is *generally* somewhere around a 2% return. *YIKES!* Set long term financial goals. You are NEVER too young to start planning your future. The longer you wait, the longer you'll have to work, as a general rule. Best of luck to you.

Look for the demand in your area too, in my area there are a TON of accounting firms and all the big 4 firms are present. I mean if you're in the middle of nowhere then you'd probably have to be willing to move somewhere. BTW if you're willing to work the long hard hours for a few years in a big 4 accounting firm (Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG and PWC) you will have head hunters offering you jobs all the time. Also, if you stay in the Big 4 you'll double your starting salary in 5 years
Ask me in a couple months if I'm just as happy though b/c busy seasons are supposedly killer. BTW I don't give a shit about basketball, but HD fucking rocks!
