<p>I'm a recent graduate with a bachelor's in finance from Western Michigan University (third tier school). I have found it impossible to find an analyst position with my current history and was wondering if a master's in accounting might help me? I realize that these programs are designed to fulfill the 150 credit hours required to sit for the cpa but i was wondering if this could diversify my credentials and help me in my goals. I would be looking at getting the degree from Michigan State University or University of Illinois.</p>
