How do I get an accounting job without related work experience?
I am part-time tax preparer, and looking for opportunities to work in accounting field. I am taking Financial Accounting, Accounting Software (Quickbooks, Excel Spreadsheets, and MS Dynamic GP), and Payroll accounting in local college. I have few years of retail management experience but not directly in accounting field. I don’t have an accounting degree. What are the chances for me to get a job in accounting?

Since you have some relevant experience with your past positions and technology , that can replace the education part especially if you’re willing to go for an entry level position. There are all types of different accounting positions and they all don’t require the same level of education or experience. With luck and a lot of persistence, you should be able to at least get some interviews.
