Hey mate. I know I'm young but I've done some research. If you have no college behind you, I would heavily recommend accounting. I would recommend you do something like WGU or a online accelerated university to get a degree fast (which to get your cpa, is required) -Then you can get your cpa by studying and knowing the material from your degree. And using cpa strength -If you accelerate at a good pace, this should only take you about 4-5 years at max. WGU says most students get there degree is 41 months or less, meaning if you accelerate well, you can be finished in 2-3 years, on top of 6 months of studying for the cpa to a year. MAKE SURE THE ONLINE DEGREE YOU DO IS ACCREDITED BY THE WAY, WGU IS ACCREDITED Cheers, I wish you luck.

@@Chickenizer thanks for the tip I was thinking going to community college for an associates in accounting then get a job in something like accounts payable, or anything that doesn't need a bachelor's but is accounting, and while working I sign up to WGU and finish my bachelor's then work for my CPA which should give me most credits and satisfy the one year of work requirement If I play it right then I can finish in about 4-5 years I am also now considering transferring to a local university and study economics with a focus on data/statistics and possibly minor in accounting so that I have a broader skill set/knowledge base
