4th year undergrad

Graduating from a target school in 3 years with two concentrations, finance and accounting. My thoughts are if I can graduate early and get the job I want at a top PE firm then why not, if I can't then I come back for my fourth and keep trying. But I don't know what to study that forth year. Should I continue taking business classes? Transfer to somewhere for different views like to sunny Cali at Stanford? Get my masters? I think getting a masters is what I'm leaning towards right now but don't know anything about the space. Any ideas or advice?

 

Agreed. But if you can graduate in 3 why not and then you can always come back the 4th year and take more classes if you're skill set is not ready. What I'm asking is if they're are any other options after graduating in 3 that I can do my 4th year other than enter the job market or come back and take more classes that I could possibly do that would make me unique and improve my skill set
