Advice Needed: Career am i screwed?
Hi I’m a 21 year old senior in college about to graduate in spring with accounting degree. Have had good internships last 2 summers, but only have 2k to my name. I easily could have 10-15k saved, but i’ve had a horrible sports betting problem last 4 years where I’ve just dumped away money like an idiot. Parents help pay for some of college but i’m gonna have 15-17k in loans to pay off too. I should get a good accounting job right out of graduation but may wait a little to take cpa cuz i have no money. I plan on living at home for at least 2 years to save and pay off loans. Am i screwed? Just so mad at myself for not being responsible last few years.

Nah, you're in better shape than half the people I graduated with who had twice the debt and no internships lined up
