But you can get a free accounting degree, it seems. For real.

The Australian reports that "there are four vacancies for every one accountant and the shortage is expected to get worse because not enough school-leavers are choosing to study the field. Universities and accounting professional bodies are running advertising campaigns to make accountancy more appealing to students by changing perceptions that it is just number crunching."

In response, high school seniors (Year 12 students, down under) "are being offered part-time jobs and free university degrees by firms, even before they have applied for a university place." Wonder if those free educations could happen here?
