Would it be logical to get a bachelor's in accounting (undergrad) and master's in business management

Would it be logical to get a bachelor's in accounting (undergrad) and master's in business management?
I want to be an accountant (probably a CPA), so would it be logical to get a bachelor's at undergrad school in accounting and, since the grad school that I really want to go to doesn't offer an accounting master's, get a master's in business management in grad school? Or is it pretty much necessary to continue with accounting in grad school if I want to be an accountant?

Several states require people who wish to sit for the CPA exam to have at least 150 hours of courses, which basically means a bachelor's and master's. Not sure about the state that you live in, but in my state you must have 33 hours of accounting courses--which can easily be fulfilled by the requirements for an undergraduate major in accounting. Most people I know who sit for the exam get their master's in accounting, based on the area of accounting they wish to practice after passing the exam. It's totally up to you what you decide to do, but I think getting your master's in accounting would be more beneficial (in terms of keeping your mind refreshed for test material, etc.) The only other option that I would consider is getting an MBA with a concentration in accounting. MBAs are highly sought after and could help you in accounting or if you eventually chose to pursue another career path.

Everything that now exists will continue to exist, with minor modification. Nothing is being eliminated, and many things are being added. If their are jobs in that field now, there will probably still be jobs. Obama's plan did not pass and will not do anything. Obama's health care situation is that when he leaves office, in either 2012 or 2016, he and his wife will need to get health insurance for themselves and their children. Since this is only four individuals out of the entire country, it will not have a significant impact on your employment prospects. The health care plan that did pass was Congress's plan, not Obama's plan.

Most HR Management concentrations are within MBA programs, which require a certain number of years work experience before applying. So chances are, if you're not connected, you'll need to either a) work for a few years, then apply; or b) go to a school that doesn't require previous years of work experience, which is not going to be a top school. As far as the mix, that shouldn't be a problem at all. Just make sure you have the prerequisites (some schools require calculus, economics, etc. before admission to their programs. Make sure you check with the schools early).

I am pursuing a Bachelor's in Information Technology, is a Master's in Management a value add

I am pursuing a Bachelor's in Information Technology, is a Master's in Management a value add?
I am pursuing a Bachelor's in Information Technology from University of South Florida. I am then considering getting a Master's in Management. My goal is to lead an IT team or better yet, organization. Is getting this Master's degree going to be a value-add? Is it viewed by the industry as worth while? The last thing I want to get is a very expensive piece of paper that provided no additional value. Any thoughts?

Well, the IT field is vastly overcrowded as it is. There are hundreds of applicants for every IT job that opens up. I don't think a Master's in 'Management' would make you stand out. What WOULD make you stand out is job experience.
