alright, so at the moment, i am scheduled to begin my my 5th year MSA coursework in the fall…

i majored in acct undergrad simply because it was toted as (and is) the backbone of business and financials… yet now i think i have a stronger interest in a career of financial consulting, advising, etc. than in accounting or auditing…

i know i have a bunch of options- too many.

i can: go through with MSA and get CPA and work in auditing for good… or then obtain MBA down the doad and make the switch.

but would it be a wiser choice to not get MSA and simply continue working, take community college courses to reach 150, and then take CPA exam, go into audit, then MBA…

orrrrr, should i go for MST or MSF (in the same program) and then get CPA, etc etc.

do top MBA schools or finance companies pay much attention to masters degrees? do they care which degree you get, or just how well you performed?

i just want to see how worth it a masters degree is before i do it for the hell of it. any feedback is appreciated.
