I do accounting work for two certified public accountants. I graduated from college about a year ago with a Finance degree. Should I seek another job or is this wage already what the average people are getting in Accounting and Finance?

As a recent graduate, you should be proud to land a job which pays about $43k a year. Many post-graduates can not even find a job at all. You are very fortunate without real world experience, you should be asking these two bosses as your mentors. Stick around and get to know the business well; you may become a partner down the road. Recent graduates work at the Big Five Accounting firms will have to work about 50-60 hours a week with no overtime pays are making about $35k.
Keep this job and learn from them...

In Los Angeles that is not too Bad. You should seek another job. It is a good wage so don't get an attitude and act mad or leave quit the job. Keep working and use them for a reference and see what others are getting paid. Look at ads in the newspaper and inquire at other company's what they pay. You never know what will happen but you have to put the foot work in. You are still very new so you may need to work there a little while to gain experience and a good reference.

an hour? well,if your're working 8-9 hours a day,u should earn 189 a day, and roughly $ 3k a mth.. in my country (malaysia),that's a high paying job..unless u work in unfix hours per day,let say 3-5 hours a day..well,u do the maths, how much u could earn per mth,and is it worth it..? I mean,if u only work few hours a day,I dont think it will add up that much at the end of the mth..

if u successfully complete ur apprenticeship under the certified accountants, u can opt to work in a big firm for better earning.

visit the www.dol.gov website which is the department of labor website. there you can search by job and area and find out what others are getting paid. its a really good tool to use.
i hope that helps.

May,
In order to help you, please expand on the type of duties you are responsible for. What do you ultimately want to do with the experience of working in public accounting? Are you planning on sitting for the CPA exam? Please provide more details.
