    Associates Degree
    I will be getting my associates degree in aug. 2013 and I have been researching jobs in the accounting field and all require a bachelors or master degree and a few years of experience. Where do I start in looking for a job in the field if those are the requirements I haven't obtained yet. I can't get expierience without the opportunity.

    You might have to start by getting a lower level job, clerical accounting work just to get a few runs on the board, then look for an assistant's job, there will be places who will take someone with a lesser qualification perhaps an internship to gain experience

    Like anyone with no job history, you take any job you can find, usually bottom of the ladder. Then you keep trying for jobs in your field. Low level accounting jobs can be found in big corporations where you have plenty of supervisors. Or government. Many of those aren't advertised, but are posted on boards in the buildings.

    Yes a clerk, or a typist or receiving or billing clerk, other entry level, lower paying jobs.
    Or of course you keep going to school and get the BA
