theres a few contingencies for a CPA in FL. you have to have a practicing CPA sign off on you for your state CPA application.
personally i consider all this stuff just a barrier to entry.
in FL you need 150 college credit hours to apply for CPA license. its not like when you get into grad school they say "well now, heres how accounting REALLY works!" its the same exact classes only they have "advanced" in front of the name.
still, i have to pay the rent. i could get some run of the mill job in accounts receivable or accounts payable clerk and just do BS work all day. theres a nice perk to working at the amazon place- at 5 o'clock i drop everything and leave
