Anyone have advice on starting a career in accounting?

I’m currently a freshman at LACC studying accounting and finance. I hope to get my CPA license as soon as I can after graduation and start my own practice.
I’ve seen a couple videos on the internet advising people to buy firms instead of starting from scratch.
Which would be the best option and if it is to purchase a firm where would I start?
Forgive me if this is a dumb thing to be concerned about.
