Baruch Msc in Finance after a Master in BA in Bocconi & 3 yrs Work experience in accounting

Hello Everyone, 

I earned both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Business Administration from Bocconi University in Milan. My GPA was 26/30 (3.00 USA GPA) for the Bachelor and 27/30 (3.3 USA GPA) for the Master’s. Currently, I work in accounting for a Big Four firm in Belgium, but I am deeply dissatisfied with my job and seek a career more focused on corporate finance.

After making many sacrifices, I have saved enough to fund a Master’s in Finance at Baruch College in NYC. I want to pursue this master’s for two main reasons:

To enter the American job market and fulfill a long-held ambition of living in the US while I'm still young.
To secure a good job in corporate finance and switch industries.
I understand that aiming for investment banking might be unrealistic, but I would be happy with a solid corporate finance position in NYC, particularly in the F&B industry, which is a great passion of mine.

Do you think my background qualifies me for the program? Would I be able to recoup the investment (around $50K USD)? Thank you very much.
