If more career options  is what you seek that's why you will enroll in MBA, why not?  If you take up Master of Laws, then  you are  not alone in your choice because an LLB is required before LLM.\nOr better yet, you might want to go and talk to a career  counselor.

If possible, you should figure out what you want to do as a career and pick an appropriate undergraduate major.  After a few years of work experience, then you can get into business school for your MBA.\n\nCareer-wise, going to a big university is better.  Small schools especially in rural areas have few students and is not worth the trip for employers.  Also, large companies have targetted core schools that they recruit from.

An MBA teaches you all aspects of running a business. If you are a doctor, you are already pretty good in your field of health; but it is not expected that you would ace finance or marketing, strategy, etc. these are key elements of running a business and that's where an MBA plays a key role. It educates you with the essentials and you develop good connections with business coaches that can help you.

It's the same thing.  You're studying business theory either way.  Business is a broad topic and tends to be broken down into further areas of concentration or majors...such as Finance, Accounting, Economics, Marketing, Strategy, Operations, etc.\n\nFor example, I have an MBA (Masters in Business Administration) but chose Marketing and Strategy as my areas of focus.

In order to pursue a Master's degree in ANYTHING, a student must have both strong undergraduate preparation in the subject or in a closely cognate area, and a passionate interest in that area of study.   If you cannot imagine your life without further study in some area, then you should be looking into graduate schools.  If not, there's no reason for you to attempt to pursue graduate study.  \n\n(Unless you're just looking to increase your income potential, in which case you should consider getting an MBA.)

I'm not sure it helps with no experience.  I'm in the process of getting into an MBA program because I think at mid-career it will be a great deal of help.  Two small businesses I was involved in a few years ago both failed because we didn't see things we should have seen and I think an MBA would have allowed us to see what was coming and better prepare for it.

The best advice I've received about management is to find first what I'm interested in managing.  The principles of economics and management you've learned are great, if you're interested in the domain of the work itself.  This came from an exec-vp while I was starting my undergraduate work.\n\nFurther, your MBA won't have much use for you until you choose such a domain.  An MBA is best put to use once you hit a glass ceiling of some sort (usually five to ten years into a management track).  That is, if you're interested in working in the corporate world.\n\nI earned my MBA from my love of entrepreneurial ideas.  So, I didn't need someone's approval of my education to do my own thing, but I wanted a broader background than the one I had.  I had 5 years of work experience before I started my MBA, and 7 after I finished it (I went the executive route).  I would say that this is the bare-minimum for actually putting the MBA to use.  I was the youngest of my MBA class, most were execs of mid-sized companies or running their own companies.  We'd discuss a concept in class on a Tuesday, and then review how it worked the following Thursday.  That was incredibly powerful, and a better experience than most MBAs get.  \n\nThat said, depending on your grades and background, you may get some good traction in some of the consulting firms.  Their undergraduate positions are pretty humble, but they'll get you in contact with some great people, and they'll encourage your MBA when its time for that.  \n\nBottom line: I'd start with a business domain that interests you and develop some traction there.\n\nGood luck!

I've known people who obtained MBAs and those who obtained Masters degrees.\n\nAsk these questions of yourself:\n-Are you good with numbers?\n-Do you prefer working with numbers or mechanical objects/tools?\n-Do you want to manage *people* or *projects*?\n-Will you have a good command of the language where you will have your job?\nIf all of these are true, the MBA is a good program for you.\n\nIf you are better with projects than with people, (that is, you prefer to build things rather than manage people) then the Masters degree is better.  One thing to consider:  your future employer should say what Masters degree and what thesis they want, and *how much more* they will pay you if you get it.  \n\nIf they will only pay 3% more per year, don't get the Masters degree.  I know many engineers that obtained the Masters degree and can't find jobs, or are underpaid - a BS degree is enough. \n\nA PhD degree will pay much more, but even then, only if the employer is willing to give you the job.  It is up to you to confirm that the job will be high paying *BEFORE* you get the graduate degree.\n\nP.S. I apologize for the comments of the first answerer - he is worried he will lose his job to someone who is willing to work hard to get an advanced degree.  He is correct that a college graduate must have excellent communication skills to get respect in the working world.

Obviously a Masters degree helps in long run.\nBeside value addition, it also boosts up your confidence.\nAlso, you get a good package if you do your masters from a really good institute.
