Is this virtual univ that you are attending an accredited institute? If it is not you probably are wasting your money. Experience is experience after all. It doesn't matter if it was for 7 years as long as you have good references and good job reports. It shows you were disciplined and consistent. You didn't mention your undergrad degree major. Was it accounting, finance, general arts? In normal circumstances MBA is good for promotion, which I have stressed over and over again in other forums, that it is only worth it if done from a good school. Did you take GMAT before your MBA? If you are considering career in accounting, do you have solid background in quantitative skills? Go to www.gmac.com and start preparing yourself from an international perspective. Try to focus on what you like and what you can do rather than what you should be doing. I don't much about these accounting certifications but any solid certification in your field will help you get ahead and stand out from crowd. Good Luck!
