You don't need Masters just 150 hours.
And you don't have to live in the state to sit for the exam in the state.

Best place, IMO or easiest is DC, pass the test and work: "1 year in government, industry, academia or public practice."
That's sort of what i was thinking as well. However my goal does not involve working in accounting but you never know what the future holds. On the last recession about a quarter of my department was laid off.
I signed up with TESU for their Health Care management degree but I haven't talked to them yet. I work in a Hospital so it sounds like it might please the higher ups.
My local community college offers a lot of accounting classes and one of the professors is really good at explaining things. He is one of the ones that got me thinking about accounting. First day of class he said that he attended that very same Community College then transferred to a Cal state school to complete his accounting degree. Then he went on to relate how his bro who worked as a waiter went on to get a History degree.
After they both graduated my professor got a lot of job offers while his bro kept on working as a waiter for some years.
