I don't think it would really help your chances (especially considering that you already have an undergraduate degree and a CPA requires an enormous amount of study). I think a more useful path for you would be to get started working in the entertainment industry, ideally on the finance / accounting side.

Remember that there are lots of ways to get into entertainment / hospitality:

- Hotel chains

- Casinos

- Restaurant chains

- Etc. etc.

You don't have to commit yourself to working in Las Vegas to get started in this business.

So...if you are serious about this career path, focusing on work experience rather than a CPA is my suggestion. As you get into those companies, you will also get a much better sense of what credentials the future (rather than the present) leaders of those enterprises will need.

Good Luck--

Thank you for your response!

I will keep it in mind when I decide what to do.

Okay. Just remember that a CPA is pretty specialized. And, as my brother points out (this is a guy who has created a career for himself that I still can't quite believe), if somebody has a job that means that YOU can have that job.

Cheers--
