You call this a glitch!?

I hadn't considered taking the CPA exam right away; Virginia doesn't seem to have any experience requirements, just an accounting degree with 150 hours. One big problem: it costs about a grand to take, which is money I sure don't have. The whole point of this exercise was to make more money... Dammit. My brain is also about fried from two years of constant work/school/work/school, so I don't know how well studying would go. I was really hoping to take a break from studying for a little while after graduation.

As a CPA in Virginia, I can tell you there is in fact a one year experience requirement.

edit: To be a CPA, not to take the exam. You can take the exam w/ 120 credits even, you just can't get licensed.

I'm actually ten years out of high school; this is my third shot at college (first time I wasn't interested, second time I had to quit because of family stuff; I'm actually finishing this time!). And I work full-time, as I said, so working and studying at the same time isn't exactly new to me. Not that I enjoy doing both at the same time, but I don't really have a choice.


Ah, thanks. The state board of accountancy's website doesn't make that clear. So what happens if you take the exam without the license requirements? Do you have a certain period of time in which to fulfill them?

That's a good question. I'm not entirely sure if there is a time limit or not.
