Also, I think in Texas you have to have 5 years experience before you can even sit for the CPA. AAFES Headquarters has a lot of Accounting Tech positions, so I've been applying hoping to get in, but no luck yet. My husband knows a Soldier that works in HR there and he said to apply for anything just to get in then apply for the accounting tech because they give current employees first dibs on the jobs so that's what I'm doing
Keep in mind that in Texas you need at least 15 units of upper division accounting in a class room setting. I have been doing job interviews and have done some research in Texas and Florida because I could end up in either locations (hoping to know by this Wed) and noticed in the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy it states, "At least 15 of these hours must result from physical attendance at classes meeting regularly on the campus of the transcript-issuing institution."
