PhD Finance or DBA for career in Financial Management / Investment Management |

Hi!
This question is mostly aimed towards people that completed their DBA/PhD and have personal experience with the industry recognition/industry value of these degrees.
My academic roadmap is nearly mapped out.
BSc in BA -> MSc in Accounting and Finance. Now, for a career in financial/investment management, what would be the optimal terminal degree to this path?
I have the option to pursue either a PhD in finance or a DBA at the school of my choice. The cost is roughly the same. The PhD would push me deeper into my specialization, while the DBA would be more of a general management degree (however, my dissertation in the DBA program can still be related to a topic in finance).
I've heard stories about both sides: "the PhD is only valued in academia and doesn't help you in industry jobs" / "the DBA is not a classic doctorate degree so people will not take it seriously".
What are your experiences and your recommendations? To which extend are the two statements from above true or false? Which degree would you think benefits me the most in this industry?

MSCS / MSAI - from an NA Bsc (UoPeople) |

ok (sorry I tried searching extensively, the search function returns everything).
My goal:
MSAI (first), MSCS (second).
Requirements:
1. Regionally accredited. (US only).
2. Highest QS (general QS not CS QS, due to my region view on US degrees) ranking first possible and then lower.
3. ~10k usd or 10-15 (no more cause that gonna be tight).
My problem:
I'm a UoPeople undergrad (I did not know about NA and RA when I signed up, also all I could afford at the time). Even though I have a GPA of 4.0 ..etc, my application is not even making it to the admission phase, rejected outright due to NA.
From:
Gatech OMCS (no accept non regional).
UTAustin MSAI (same).
next option I'm looking at is Purdue new MSAI but at 933 usd a credit and requiring 30 credits, that's a bit heavy on budget. same for CU.
Before I look at TESU and cheap stuff, any possibility there exists a good QS ranked regional Uni that offers MSAI or MSCS in my budget?
Thanking You,

Pausing Enrollment at TESU |

I am enrolled at Thomas Edison in the Computer Science program (with 90 credits). I have an opportunity to pursue a degree in Nursing from a different school using a government program. The problem is, to pursue this opportunity I can not finish the TESU degree first. The government program will only pay for a first bachelors.
I can not find much direction on this. I found an article on tesu.edu called Inactive Students to Apply for Graduation, but it is too vague to be helpful. I've read here that TESU students get locked into a degree plan and that their degree plan might change if they leave and come back.
Note that the degree from the other school will take me a minimum of two years and as much as four. Given this, my questions are:
1. Is there any way to pause my student status, keeping my current degree plan?
2. If not, how often does TESU change the Computer Science degree plan? Is there somewhere I can see historic changes?
Any other advice or guidance is welcome.

Morning,
I transferred in all my courses from Sophia and studydotcom for computer science degree and information systems to take both at the time, but an advisor was telling me that the two degrees are almost the identical and no one is taking both at the same time because they are overlapping each other with only 3 courses are allowed. These two degrees can be full fill with the study.com courses. Basically, I will get a degree from study.com with the official name of TESU. there is zero school out there with the degrees in computer science and information systems that the students didn’t require to take any of the computer science courses with the school and still can graduates . that only at TESU.
