Even an accounts payable role where you aren't even doing real accounting still wants three years of experience and a degree and pays $12 an hour. Realistically, I would have to move to break into accounting. It's not for lack of trying- I've applied to 236 jobs in the last 3 months. I'll keep applying- but, there just isn't a place for me.

Wow, crazy job market! That is a huge number of applications and a very low pay.

It seems like everybody wants to live in Florida, so we have a bunch of people move down who have already been successful elsewhere and they just want a job for the health insurance. They have retirement income or savings and so on so they literally will take a job that they were being paid $30 an hour for up north at $12 an hour just to live near the beach and have some sort of health coverage. There's just no reason to hire someone without experience here when you can get someone who ran their own firm at a huge discount. Additionally, there's a lot of schools in Florida. UCF is huge and churns out thousands of accounting students. At least my degree was cheap! I previously worked for the county and our accounting department had Stetson grads making $12.66 an hour. They had to owe $50k in student loans to make $12.66 an hour; no raises and very limited upward mobility. Heck, when I supervised the overnight stock crew at a Walmart, I had three stockers with MBA's.

Did WGU charge you for the capstone extension?

I don't believe they did, I actually went and double checked.. lol It looks like the one month extension is free- if you go over than you are paying a prorated term. Additionally, your capstone must already be pulled into your term before the 15th of your last month. On the 15th of your last month, you can apply for the capstone extension if all your other classes are done and that's the only class left and it's already in your term. I BARELY squeaked by because I had Cost and Managerial and only had a week to pass it and that's a brutal class. If I would have failed that, I would have had a prorated term.
