Title pretty much sums it up. I have an Econ degree from a top 10 University but don’t have any job offers in finance. Working in commodities is my ultimate goal. I now have the choice of attending a Masters of Finance program (now virtual for Fall) and doubling my debt- or building houses (as a contractor , not laborer) until things get back to normal and I’m able to find a job in the industry. Is a masters degree from my T10 school’s Business School, which is in unranked, going to give me an advantage that outweighs the additional debt/ opportunity cost of not getting a job for an additional year? All thoughts greatly appreciated.

What was your GPA and internship experience like in college? Wat jobs have you been applying for, is building houses truly your only option?
If so, I'd go for the masters degree. Get a part time job (or ideally business internship) to supplement the cost.
Taking on more debt is not ideal, but better to reset now than spend years at a low salary and eventually need MBA. Network your ass off for internships and FT jobs to maximize the opportunity.
