Internship vs. Second Degree

    I finished my MSA last year and I could not find a job almost a year. I passed CPA exams but most places were looking for experienced candidates. I finally decided to go for MST for on campus recruiting. I got an admission from the big 4 target school which starts next January but also my brother in law worked for me and I got an internship from regional firm (30+ people) for busy season. Should I still go for the second degree? or I just do my best for the internship and try to leverage that on my resume or to get full time offer? Nothing is guaranteed after busy season. If I cannot get a full time offer, I might have a better chance with on campus recruiting with CPA exams and internship in public accounting that I did not have in my first time OCR. Also, MST can help me because I will work in tax department for the internship. But I am in my late 20’s I do not want to waste too much time and money. Do you think it is worth to pursue second degree for another shot for OCR in this situation?
