I am an American, looking to study finance in Canada. I want to be a financial accountant, planner, or adviser. Assuming the economy returns to a normal point within the next 5-7 years (getting bachelors and masters degree), how difficult would it be for me to get a job in the US, as an American, with a Canadian degree? Do international business degrees look better on a resume? Would I have a hard time finding a job in Canada if I chose to stay? Thank you.
