I have a bachelor degree (5 year path designed with 150 credits for CPA). I already passed CPA. But now I’m debating if it’s worth it to get a master degree or MBA if I eventually leave big 4 because everyone around me have master’s degree. Is it something I should consider doing in my situation?

No, waste of time esp if you have your CPA already

I was a CPA and went back to get my MST. It’s not unusual for exec level positions to require an advanced degree (my current position at Deloitte required it) and I don’t regret going back.

I have similar question. I am a tax senior with CPA. Wonder if I should go to master of taxation or MBA

Thanks .

I only got the masters to be CPA eligible. If you already have the 150 credits I would not waste the money at all

Another consideration to take into account is if you plan on teaching either while working in accounting or after you retire. Many good schools require faculty to have at least a graduate degree. I am working on my MST for that reason, along with getting some additional tax knowledge in areas that I don’t see often in my day to day.

save the MBA in case you want to make a career switch in the future
