I know an MBA would be better, but since I'm just graduating I would need to get a few years of work experience first. I've been looking and applying for jobs, and to be honest my degree just isn't doing anything for me at all (despite being summa cum laude and having a financial internship). In retrospect I might have been better with a finance/accounting major. In any case, I'm in the position of not being able to get worthwhile work experience for an MBA down the road. MSF (Finance) programs that I have come across are just as costly, don't offer impressive placement, and are at less prestigious schools. I wonder if other people feel as frustrated as I do when they realize their (somewhat) hard work in undergrad just doesn't pay off.

If I wanted to sell insurance or something id be fine, but its tough to break into some of the more competitive career fields with a state school BA.
