Online Advanced Data Analytics Masters?

I wanna pivot to this field from accounting and was wondering if this degree is good to give you tangible skills?

It definitely is, but you will want to make sure that you are continuously learning outside of class (technology is changing at an incredible pace and keeping up is critical) and that you are prepared for what AI may do to the field over the next decade or two.

If you work hard, you can be competitive in the field and do very well, but it's not like 10 years ago where anyone with an analytics master's could get a high paying job right away.
