What situations does someone need to get a master's?

Ok, I see. Because this is my specific situation.

I hope to go to Baruch, part of CUNY, which is in Manhattan and is a good school for finance. But as of now, I don’t think I can get a good scholarship to it. But than there’s another school where I’m pretty positive that I can get a full scholarship (St. Peter’s College in New Jersey) but it’s not even close to as good as Baruch. But if I do get a full ride there, I could right after go get my master’s at a top school.

Basically, should I got to a relatively good school for finance and pay the full cost (but I have a better chance at getting a good job after) or should I just go to an OK undergraduate school for free and then go to a top school for my master’s which then would greatly improve my resume when getting a job.

What are your opinions?
