MBA vs MS

The ideas & thoughts expressed below are my interpretation for the much discussed comparison. According to me both MS and MBA are great programs. The only difference is how one selects these programs to fulfill his/her career goals (both long & short term)

I knew from the very beginning that if I were given the option to go for the Masters program it would definitely be the one in Business. Reason being, I never got the chance to study Business or any of the related subjects such as Acc, Fin. or Eco. It is a human tendency that things that you have never tried in life attracted you to go for them - both good & bad :). Moreover, I felt that I have to diversify my educational portfolio, and the degree in MBA will help me achieve my long term goals. By the way what are my long term goals? They are way too many at this time and I need to work on making that list short and achievable.

MS on the other hand will help me in getting more in depth knowledge of the technical realm. To be frank in first place I guess I am done doing the same repetitive job I am doing with the technology I learn during my BS and I guess doing an MBA will help me tackle more challenging and interesting responsibilities. I love doing technical stuff, but the sheer interest in Business which I've developed in the last couple of years (blog coming soon...to explain how I develop this interest) is driving me to get an MBA, and now I am all set to go for one.
