welpz~ i'm 21, graduated from USC last december, and now I work for one of the big 4 accounting firms in the audit department. actually, it says "assurance services" on my business card, i guess we're assuring everybody that the financial statements are free of material misstatements haha, sorry, accounting joke :D but i don't have like crazy expenses to pay for, so i can afford my 2003 i guess... plus, i had some money saved up, so i put a decent down payment on it... otherwise, i would've gotten a base ES instead of the fully loaded one. so anyways, as i'm pretty sure that the only reason people know of the "big 4 accounting firms" is because of the whole andersen/enron incident, who, btw, i did not work for, i guess it suffices to say that i'm an accountant, soon to be a cpa...
