    I am currently working at a small CPA firm. We do basic book keeping, tax, and tax resolution. This is my first job out of college and I am not being paid very much. However, I am “paying my dues” as they say and trying to make myself more valuable. I am half way done with all 4 sections of the CPA exam, and I am starting to think of my next career move once the whole thing is finished.

    I either want to work for Big 4, and gain that hands-on experience, or go get a masters degree in tax, or actuarial science.

    What are your guy’s thoughts? What would be the pay offs of each option? I want to know which one will make me more successful in the long term.
