How sure are you of this? What school for the MBA and what state would you want/need to sit in? Also, did you take any accounting electives at all for your gen business degree?
The school is a large public school in TX, but the academic prestige is not great.
I only took intro and managerial in undergrad. That's it.

TX has some oddly specific CPA requirements that are a little frustrating. You're right in that it might not be too easy for you. Although, I think 15 of your accounting hours could come from "distance learning" or correspondence courses.
Overall, I would think you should go with the free MBA. Age isn't a huge factor, but I'd say it favors the fact that you shouldn't try to start your career over in accounting. Try to take any and all accounting courses you can that would maybe count towards the CPA and then see where you finish up. Maybe enroll in some more night classes after the MBA and take some distance learning courses. You'd be 35+ sitting for the CPA, but hey, if that's what you want, it won't hurt your career.
