re: Career advice needed---MBA vs. MAccy

About the only usefulness of a MAcc is to get your 150 hours. That's it. I mean, there is NOTHING useful about a MAcc as far as what you do for a job.
I have seen in some instances Big Four firms wanting a master's in accounting, but given what you have said about your age and lifestyle, that's probably not a good route for you.
I don't know if it's changed, but as of several years ago, certain community colleges were allowed to offer accounting classes that counted towards the hours needed to sit for the exam. As in, you could take all of them at a community college (which is a lot cheaper). I know HCC did this and I think others did too.
What kind of MBA is it? Part time? Full time? Exec?
Could you take your MBA classes and take an additional accounting class each semester?
Edit: Here is the list LINK

Do not do a MACC. It is useless.
The bigger question is do you want to be a CPA? That's an odd career path from a guy previously in sales and SC.

That's an exaggeration.it would at least seperate you from someone with no Masters at all.

Going to disagree here a bit. If you have a virtually identical résumé to a person without a masters, I believe it will come into play. It will not make or break your career bu any means though. Also, accounting theory, an additional audit and tax classes helped tremendously with exam prep.
