GE FMP with CPA?

I'm an incoming GE FMP (Financial Management Program) and was just wondering if getting a CPA will be worth it for me. I don't really know what I want to do long-term, but I know I don't plan to ever work in public accounting. I'm thinking after the FMP program to enter into another corporate finance role or try to get into consulting. Do you guys think I should continue to pursue a CPA or hold off on it? Any advice is much appreciated.

 

I'm a CPA (and MBA). My two cents: a CPA is career insurance. There is always a need for them and it is well respected. I was never in public accounting but do find the information useful because it teaches an additional way to look at financial results. Do you have the time to study? Plan on a year, including a review course.
