MS in ERM vs MAcc

I also already have a job offer with Big 4 pending graduation. I have a B.S. in Accounting; however, I’m a little concerned that I won’t be prepared for the CPA exam with a M.S. in ERM.

Is it worth it to pursue a M.S. in ERM before obtaining work experience even if it is from an Ivy League?
