I'm pursuing my Master's in Accounting and have a bachelor's in the field. I know it might seem excessive, but I'm doing it mainly to build the network I completely failed to create in undergrad. I regret not connecting with people back then, and it's catching up to me in terms of job opportunities. In your opinion, is it worth going back to school to build a network, or will my Master's be useless?

The networks you need are the ones you get through working - not through school.

Get a masters in accounting to be more knowledgeable in the field, to better prepare for a CPA or to be able to say you have a Masters Degree.

I am assuming you have an undergraduate degree in accounting. Unless you are on a full ride scholarship or come from wealth and are going to an Ivy League school, networking at in person CPE trainings or conferences will be a better use of your time, energy and money to expand your network.
