re: To get a CPA or to not?

It depends on what your long term goals are.
If you're trying to be a controller or make it to the c-suite as a CFO, even in private sector, the CPA still carries a lot of weight. Your advancement will be somewhat limited with an accounting degree with no CPA.
I'd advise getting your degree, going into the workforce, then taking online classes to fulfill your requirements. LSU ODL is pretty flexible. You get 6 months to complete the courses at your own pace and it's not too expensive. I think $700-800 class.

I hope to get a job where my internship when I graduate and I would like to move up the ladder at this company. Would getting an MBA online look any worse than getting an on campus MBA?
