No one can plan your life for you.

We know nothing about you; what your strengths and weaknesses are; what experience you have; what you like to do; what you excel in, academically, etc.

You need to sit down and list all this for yourself. Talk to those who know you, ask them for advice.

I'd get a job, any job and then think about your future as you mature and see which way your career path takes you.

Good Luck

If I were you I'd befriend someone with an older MBA and ask them if they'd do it again. Ask them how cut throat people are in that industry. Ask them to give you the downside. The upside is always easy to see. Many people every year get a degree in something and enter that field only to find out the demands are tougher than they had expected.

Don't focus entirely on money, you'll never be happy in the long run.

Hi Arjun.

It is not enough to get degrees, one really needs to put the education which they signify to good purpose.

What good purpose would you like to accomplish?

Once you have experience in your technical field, and you have seen how the "business leaders" are missing some important opportunities to exploit your technology, only then would I consider getting an MBA so that you can convince them, or open your own business, confidently.

Education without experience is not worth much.

Get some experience. Earn some payback on your current degree.

Then see what looks like your best opportunity.

PS> I got my Bachelors degree in 1975. I got my MBA in 2008. Not meaning to brag, but because of my experience, I was totally un fazed by the problems that were presented, and had the highest possible GPA and recorded the highest ever (for my school) test score on the test they give to graduates. I got more out of my classes, and gave more in my classes because of my work experiences.

Now I teach in the MBA program.

My experienced students get way more out of my class than do recent graduates. My recent graduates do way better on paper writing- until I ask them to stop writing academic papers. Then they struggle with making inferences rather than writing pretty papers.
