Is MS in Finance a right/viable choice for a career restart

Hi I am a Business Analyst and have been on career break for around 2 and half years.My current visa status doesn't allow me to work so I have been thinking of going back to school.I surfed a few courses and found MS Finance as an interesting/affordable/useful option.In my previous job I have worked on corporate and retail banking products.Would like to know if MS in Finance is worth a try ?Is there any possibility of starting a career at this stage (given the fact that I am already in my 30s and I already hold an MBA in IT business management.)
