You will have to get college credits and have experience hours. Maybe try the EA first to get your foot in the door on the tax side.

I'm a firefighter who wants to go back to college. I love helping people, and I love what we do, but I want to learn more skills. I'm interested in obtaining the CPA certification, but there are a few hurdles, such as the 1-year work experience to sit for the exam. I work a 56-hour work week. Is it possible to gain this experience remotely? Still trying to figure this part out. I don't necessarily want to make a full career switch, I want to give myself access to more opportunities. If any CPAs would be willing to talk with me, I'd be very appreciative. CPA is my plan B when I'm too broken to do this job anymore, it takes its toll. Thanks for reading!
