re: Value of a MBA vs Accounting degree?

However, I think it has more to do with the recruiting opportunities that LSU MAcc brings to the table than the actual value of the degree. Would you agree?

Since I did not attend LSU for my masters, I don't think I'm in a position to evaluate the value of that degree. I know that before my masters program at University of Texas I had a very elementary understanding of finance and finance law, no understanding of government accounting, O&G accounting, forensics, internal audit,international tax, and advanced accounting. Now I would say I am knowledgeable in all of those areas and learned from professors that are extremely well respected in their field.

So I know there is value in my degree beyond the ridiculous number of recruiting opportunities it presented me. I would imagine the same goes for the LSU macc if you are there to learn.
