Has anyone on SF done a masters in finance?
While I have been told that I am crazy for even thinking about a finance degree (looking at a masters in the US or possibly Hong Kong as I currently work around Asia), I like the financial side of project and program management, and in helping a friend look at a startup, the financial side of the project has been among the more challenging aspects. I am split between focussing on finance or getting an MBA (most likely an executive program so I can stay current in my field with some consulting).
Most of the executive MBA's I have looked at do not have the strong financial focus that I am after although Chicago Booth and Columbia's EMBA's look like they might provide more financial depth than a few other programs.
