Pursue PHD degree or look for a job at age of 40? (an MBA/CPA)

smalltree

MBA with 3 years working experience as accountant at U.S., passed 4/4 cpa exams in August this year (2011). Now consider what to do next......

Unemployment for almost a year (focus on the cpa exams), what should I do next?  should I start to look for a full time job ( but the salary for an accounting position as medium level is not very well now the days.) Or pursue Ph.d degree and spend one month to prepare GMAT test?  I have more than 150 credit with years of education background in finance/accounting. But thinking of spending another 4 years to get a degree in order to be professor, it seems too long to me. but the professor's salary should be much better than as an accountant...

Age of 40 years old is a big dilemma for me. what should I do next?? any help and recommendation?

Actually, you don't have to be a accountant according to your background.

A finance manager， or IBD
