Flask, did you go through an analyst program?

I'm sorry for steering someone into an online MBA versus a traditional on campus one. Oh my, what a terrible outlook on life.

I did.
I would encourage anyone graduating with limited career experience to focus on getting into a formalized analyst program after graduation. I learned a lot and learned at a pace that I would have never achieved without the program.

I majored in acct. I imagine it's relatively tough for an LSU acct grad to get accepted into a good program.

Move to Charlott. There's plenty entry level banking positions with BoA or Wells Fargo

Nah. An accounting degree is as good as a finance degree for commercial banking. We hire them regularly. The only reason we ar hesitant is because of the lower retention rate. You become ultra valuable when you have 2 years of banking experience and a CPA. In the long run, it's much more profitable to stay in banking, but the environment isn't for everyone. It's much more high adrenaline than accounting. It fits me well, but the kind of person who likes accounting work probably doesn't like that environment.
With the above said, I didn't mean banking only. I meant that doing a formalized program (commercial banking, investment banking, accounting, audit, advisory, etc.) is a great thing. It's something I was told to target and in hindsight, I understand why. It's all a blur while your doing it and you can't see the forest through the trees, but when I look back at it, I really can't believe the robustness of my training and work experience. It also stacks your resume.

He was talking about getting into a good analyst program.

An MBA is not a professional certification like some people in this thread seem to think, it matters where it comes from.
I don't have an MBA but this is pretty much what I've read unless you have really good experience.

You can never truly know how time and investment today will impact future earnings. Yes, you can make as educated a decision as possible but there is no guaranteed certainty.

It's amazing how many that enter a Master's programs have no concept of this. So many complete a post-graduate degree and just expect some well known company to call them after they submit their resume online and give them six figures...

Look into assistantships to cover all or part of tuition
If you're suggesting an on-campus assistantship, it's not going to be as cost effective with the LSU MBA program as it would be with another degree. Flores has higher tuition and more fees than most of the other graduate programs on campus, and the assistantship won't cover the additional amount. I ended up having to switch to a different degree after I had already been accepted into the Flores MBA program because I couldn't afford the additional cost while working as a grad assistant.
