hi,
i have been thinking for the past few weeks about doing a masters in accounting. i've already researched the best programs in the coutnry, - illinois, texas, michigan, ohio etc. but my quesiton is different - how would you rate a masters of accounting, when compared to ms in finance or economics for example. i will do an MBA eventually, but since i am getting my undergrad degree in accounting and finance this may in 2005, i would be at a disadvantage without post-bacchalourate work experience, required [recommended] by most of the top MBA programs. I want to get my CPA and CMA eventually and i think that a masters degree in accounting will strengthen my resume and chances of good post-masters employment. i think i would be able to get into a good masters program since i already have a solid background in accounting and target a stellar GMAT [750+ , GGGOOD i hope so ;]]] + the fact that these programs do not require work experience, which will improve my chances of getting in and benefit greatly from the exposure to graduate work in accounting, which is a field i adore. Would any of you guys, who already have some years of FT work experience and some masters degrees under your belt recommend i do the masters in accounting before i apply to a top MBA program?? i really think it will improve my chances since i can apply when i am 28-29 and i am only 23 now. thanks for the advice in advance.

A Masters in Accounting versus an MS in Finance. I'm not sure that a masters in Economics pr Finance makes sense for most people who ultimately want to get an MBA (because of the large potential overlap. I also wouldn't recommend pursusing the masters degree simply because you believe it help your chances to get in.
If you're passionate about accounting (sounds like you are) and have a good feel for the job opportunities that you'll get with the degree, then I'd go for it.

thanks for the input, i am interested in the field of accounting more than anything else. yes i have considered the potentional overlap between MBA and MS. if i consider a career change sometime down the road an MBA might help. but who knows. thanks for the advice.
