Going to work for a public accounting firm is one route to a successful career in both public accounting and corporate accounting. However, there are many other routes to a career in corporate accounting that do not involve going through a CPA firm first. The following list of companies provides some very good examples. All of these companies provide training programs for recent accounting graduates. You can apply to get into most, if not all of these programs whether they interview on your campus or not.
