  1. I agree with you but my point is not based on "that it is not as bad as in 3rd world communist dictatorship".

    I wanted to also give my personal testimony and how I feel regarding student debt and professional opportunity in the USA which I think is awesome.

    And yeah miami is a shithole

    Perhaps you didn't read the entire post or you didn't read it correctly.

    I simply stated that the CPA supersedes the masters degree and will lead to better job prospects than a masters degree and no CPA. Whether the CPA is important is entirely dependent on your work experience, skill-set, geographic region, and willingness to start at the bottom of the totem pole. For me, both the CPA and MTax were quite valuable.

    Interestingly enough, elite schools have never offered accounting as a major nor an MBA concentration. They've always considered it too "vocational". So, it's highly unlikely that a quant from an elite school would want a lowly accounting job. The numbers put out by the BLS contradict your statement regarding EE and CompSci majors.
