is nonprofit accounting bad to go into?

Question

I am a recent college graduate who could not get a job in this economy. I recently just took a junior accounting job for a non profit. However, people have advised me that once you enter, it's hard ot get out, corporations and such will not hire you. Is this true?

Not totally true. While it might be true that you will not be hired on as an accounting manager at a Fortune 500 company if you work at a smaller non-profit, however accounting experience is accounting experience. If you work there for a few years, then decide that you want to work for the corporation, you should be fine. Non-profit is a niche in accounting, but it is not a grave.
