Hello all,
I'm new to this forum and have a few questions I would like answered and I'm sure you are more business aware and have more work experience than me. So all comments are welcome!
I am 26 completed my undergrad degree 3 years ago and majored in Fine Arts and Minor in Business. Lately have been thinking of going back to school and studying accounting... due to the lack of work in my current field. I am not sure if MBA in accounting will be the best choice for me, because of my background/experience is in the arts/design/sales/freelance industry... it is difficult for me to comprehend if this degree will be a good life-time decision?
Also I was wondering which degree is better for me to get another undergrad in accounting OR MBA in accounting? I have a feeling that most of you will say "MBA is better!", however since I have ZERO experience working in an accounting firm I am not sure how a future employer WILL judge my resume: Bachelors Fine Arts + MBA in Accounting?? I mean these two fields are completely different right? Will the employer overlook my past experience in the arts and NOT think less of me because I don't have Bachelors in Business? The last thing I want to do is earn MBA and not have a job!
I am assuming some kind of Undergrad degree in Economics/ Finance/Accounting will look "Better" on the resume? Therefore I am torn if I should get another undergrad degree?
I see myself working as an accountant and progressively going into management position, I am also thinking of passing the CPA exam, but I do not know from where to start?
I have read from some of your comments that MBA in Accounting is almost repetition of the undergrad program? I am just not sure... What would you do if you were in my shoes?![]()
