HELP, MY ARM--
Oct 12, 2006
Oh, accept the pain, Frank!
I recently graduated school with a double in Psych and Criminology, but after injuring myself, my first plan of becoming a cop fell through the hole for the time being and I'd like to look into other fields.

What should I be doing if I want to become an accountant (and eventual CPA)? I'm looking into taking courses at my local community college and possibly going for a bachelors in accounting at a nearby school. Could I be doing things differently? More efficiently?

This is the pathway I've completed the most of:
* A bachelor’s degree; (done)
* 24 semester units in accounting-related subjects;
* 24 semester units in business-related subjects; (have some units completed for several econ classes)
* 150 semester units (or 225 quarter units) of education; (done)
* Passing the Uniform CPA Exam;
* One year of general accounting experience supervised by a CPA with an active license; and
* Passing an ethics course.

How do most people complete their one year of general accounting experience supervised by a CPA-just work at a firm with other accountants who may have one or two who are CPA certified and call it a day?

I live in California if that helps :).
