I am graduating with an accounting degree soon, and I have some unpair medical and other pills on my credit, about 6000, so will the companies I am applying deny me an employment because of this? I would like to hear you ideas...I appreciate it..

Collections, per se, are not a black mark on your background. I am sure there is a perfect explanation for the collection - just may be - the money payment is in dispute etc...
If you are taking a job that requires security clearance this may pose a problem. Try your damn best to clear this from your record before attempting to get a job.
Especially because you are an accountant, it is important that you have a clean record.

They might.
Most companies do credit and background checks before they hire someone. If you are applying for a job that requires you to handle money or work with numbers like your degree would indicate, your collections are not going to look good to a perspective employer.

I would say yes, it does hurt your chances of being hired. Any time you seek employment that deals with finances/lending/banking/investing, etc., a company will want to see that their employees are able to handle their own finances well.
Try to clean up your credit ASAP or at least make payment arrangements and get documentation for proof.
Good luck job searching!

YES....more so if you are seeking employment in the any type of insurance/banking/financial services careers. Good luck.
