Hi, so I am currently a student getting my degree in accounting/business to then become a CPA. Any advice on where I could start gaining experience in this job field?

Second year in your degree, start going to every event hosted by the school bringing employers in. You will meet recruiters from different firms as well as employees representing those firms. It will provide opportunities to learn about the different positions you could be a candidate for as well as when the firms open internship positions. Get involved with the school accounting student associations such as Beta Alpha Psi etc.
Typically, you can start interning in your second year of the university. This is perfect to get work experience and potentially secure a job before your graduate.

Am I stupid or did the e-learns not prepare me for any of this? The training told me I'd be auditing cash but I haven't even touched a bank reconciliation.
