<p>I am trying to decide what to do. Currently it is hard for me to even get an internship, let alone a job. I have no accounting experience. I am gonna do VITA for some experience. I want to get in tax. I have ZERO interest in public accounting. I'd prefer either a small/medium firm or the government job like the IRS. I'm pretty simple. Even an accounting job with 35000-40,000 salary would be fine by me. I'll literally take any accounting or accounting related job as long as it's not public accounting even something like tax preparer for the IRS. I passed 2 of my 4 CPA parts. Am working on the other 2 parts. </p>
<p>I am strongly considering either a MACC w/tax concentration or MsT. I graduated from the university of south florida. They have a pretty good accounting program. They unfortunately don't have a MsT but have a Macc w/tax concentration. It would only cost me about 10,000 to do my macc there. Also I am considering an online MsT from GGU (or elsewhere) that runs about 30,000. If the cost were equal I would pick the MsT easily. Would it make a huge difference in the tax world between a MsT vs a Macc w/tax concentration? If I appled for a job like the IRS or a small accounting form would it make a difference if I have a MsT vs a Macc w/tax? Does a MsT or Macc w/tax even help for it getting a government job or getting hired by a small firm?</p>
<p>One more question- If I went back to USF they have on campus recruiting there. Is it only just big 4 that usually recruits at colleges? Or does the government and local firms also recruiting at colleges?</p>
