发帖数: 186 | 3 I don't think it's a good idea to get an econ master's degree. If you've
got an accounting master's degree and work experience in the US, it's not
worth the extra one to two years to get the econ master's. Your former
professor wanted you to work an extra year and get CPA, right? So how is
this econ master going to help you getting her recommendation letter?
I suggest you talk with your professor about your situation (possible
layoffs - out of status) and she might understand. |

Actually CPA doesn't matter that much for research-oriented schools. |
