I WANT TO BE THE 1%

My impression on "Occupy Wall Street", remembering that I am a college student studying Finance/Accounting ( while spending $25,000 a year on tuition), will be on the bias side. Especially being that my future goal will be working in one of the Big Four Accounting Firms. I don't come from a wealthy family, nothing even close. I actually have a father who has been unemployed for a year now, so my view will be also coming from an average young woman, in a family with financial stress. Is it my fault for then wanting to be wealthy when I get older after I see how hard life is not being wealthy?


Its not everyday that you wake up, grab a cup of coffee & start to watch the news (yes I watch the news). All I can hear about is "PROTEST, INEQUALITY, GOVERNMENT INJUSTICE" yet from what I recall is that they are in front of WALL STREET in NEW YORK. From my knowledge, Wall Street doesn't effect laws, rules or can control government justice. My top problem with Occupy Wall Street is that I think they are IN THE WRONG STATE! I do not understand what they think Wall Street can do for him.
There are other problems that I have with Occupy Wall Street so I will start a list:


-they think that blaming the "rich" will make them richer.... yeah good luck with that
-false information- I feel that people are not well informed about they are talking about
- I see alot of young unemployed people are protesting. If they were to get a serious education and/or a serious career choice they would be more likely to get a job (going to school for art, how many jobs can that lead you in?) I also see alot of homeless people finding a warm safe place to stay in, with free food and homing. Yet, I am aware with the statistics of how many working, employed people are there that are in support of this movement.


This list can go on ALOT longer but I thought I would give you those and see feed back. These are also my top 3 problems with Occupy Wall Street.


I will leave you off with this, yes I have not yet fully developed my argument, but I thought it be best to give you a little information about me first!
