Hi, you all!! I have some questions and am hoping people who know about this to help me out!

I am currently debating whether I should apply to Master of Accountancy or MBA concentration in Accounting. Accounting is not my passion but I don't want to ignore the good job market for accountant. I want to get into MBA school, but I was once told that if you can’t get into the Top 50 MBA, it's better to study for a specific major in Master Program.

I graduated with my MIS degree but did not make a good use of it. I am more of cretive guy and like to take and combine a variety of knowledge to look at the world differently. Since job market in the accounting field is good, I am thinking of applying to MBA School with Accounting concentration.

Questions:
1. What kind of job do people with MBA concentration in accounting get?
2. Do they end up talking CPA?
3. Do you suggest that I should go into MAC or MBA with Accounting emphasis?
4. If I went to MBA with concentration in Accounting and decided to take CPA exam, accounting courses offered by MBA program would be enough to prepare for CPA exam?
