I graduated with an accounting degree in 2006 and took a job as a Fund Accountant in mutual funds. I was laid off from my job in 2013 due to the fact my position was moved to another state. Even though I have almost 7 yrs experience my work experience is pretty useless and can't find another job after 2 yrs of looking. I'm a little confused of what to do next. Since I have no legitimate accounting experience I can't get a job at a big 4 or anywhere else for that matter. No one will give me a experienced hire position due to my bad experience and I can't get an entry level position because I'm not just out of college. Should I go for the CPA or go get my masters degree in accounting? Which would be a more beneficial move for me at this point to get a job at a big 4 or mid level accounting firm? Not sure what my next step should be at this point. Please HELP!!!!
Confused of what to do next. Get my CPA or go to graduate school?
