I'm a second year B.E.( chemical) student at one of the top 10 Engineering Colleges in the country. Like every other student even, i'm worried about my future. I know tht to reach at heights in life i need to go for a higher degree and i'm very much interested in persuing studies too. But i'm unable to decide as to should i go for MS or MBA. The most apt answer wud be ...go with ur interest but i wanna know which one with which degree will i have better prospects? which one wud give a better life later on?
Putting it simply plz let me know the life after MS and tht after MBA? I wish to start my own venture at some point of time in my life...which degree wud help me for tht?
Waiting for all wise ppl here to help me out with their views.

well i was looking at the same type of thing for myself, but, if you are that far, why not just add a few more courses and get both, when you go for a job, just specify the one that is needed, and that will take care of being over qualified if you know what i mean.
as for the rest, you will be fine which ever route u take, u sound like a person with a head on ur shoulders.

MS is a specific degree that will increase your knowledge in a specific area, for instance engineering. MBA is a general degree that is needed to run any business and will be handy when you want to run your own business. MBAs hire and fire scientists based on return on investment and performance. Scientists are "brains for sale" while MBAs are "puppet masters". SO if you are going to have your own business (puppet show), better learn how to be a "puppet master" and run the show profitably. With a MS & MBA you will know the "Puppets Job" and how to maneuver the "puppets" effectively like a smart game of chess. All the best.

Definately MS. (which I thought was called MSc, but I guess it depends which country).
I'd never hire an MBA because he had an MBA, especially if it's for a science related job. Plus, banks and venture capitalists usually don't care if you have an MBA.
I know MBAs who have terrible jobs, making just above minimum wage, but not many people with a masters in science in that situation. Pursue the science as far as you can, it'll open up more opportunities for you.

You must get experience and the knowledge to conduct your venture.
You wrote "I wish to start my own venture at some point of time in my life".
Find a job do the job and go for MBA in the evening part time.
