    Are there many jobs out there for forensic accounting?
    I was just wondering if this is a field that has a lot of entry level jobs that would hire someone out of college. Does anyone one know?

    Actually, no it isn't an entry level job. It is a good occupation and pays well when you find a corporation who needs that t ype of procedure, usually banks and law firms (law firms want forensics done on clients who are involved in a fraud lawsuit). If you are a computer tech, that is good but you need to update our skills with certain certificates and if I find that source on line I will let you know.

    Edit: Google 'forensic accounting' to find out what certs you need. There are many websites.

    Actually, I'm going to get a graduate certificate in it... I have an under grad in accounting already but seems that right now I'm having quite a hard time finding work.

    Again, it is not something you most likely will jump into ( at least a well paying one) often you may work in some accounting function for some of these same companies and move up.

    Sounds like a good plan. I can get an internship with this grad certificate program that I'm enrolling into. That should be a good start.
