accounting requirements to work for govt

<p>i am a freshman in college aspiring to become a cpa,but i wish i could
work for the federal government, please could give me some information
to aid me to move through the right path so i can end up working for the
government.
thank you,</p>

<p>Right now it’s particularly tough to get a federal job. Best to join the military so you get a leg up on everyone else. If you get a purple heart or disabled(not necessarily in combat) you pretty much are guaranteed to get a job.</p>

<p>Does the IRS give the same exit opportunities as the Big 4, or is it more of a lifer job?</p>
