Which of the following, if true, supports the mother's position?
A) Julie has said that she wants to work for one of the Big Four accounting and professional services firms.
B) The demand for government accountants is expected to grow in the near future.
C) Two other recent grads in Julie's class chose to pursue public accounting.
D) A recent survey showed that about 45 percent of new accountants chose public accounting.
E) Julie has said that she wants to work as an in-house accountant for a large public interest group like Sierra Club or Greenpeace.
Answer: A
Explanation: A) Public accountants work as individual practitioners, or they may join an accounting firm, such as one of the so-called Big Four accounting firms. Many government accountants are private accountants so Choice B tends to support the father's position. Choice C presents too small of a sample to be representative of a trend or to be relevant to Julie's situation. It's not clear how Choice D would affect Julie's particular situation, even if we knew what portion of the remaining 55 percent chose private accounting versus government accounting. Choice E is a reason for Julie to pursue private accounting, as private accountants work for a single for-profit or nonprofit organization.
