MBA or msc in management which one is better in terms of job opportunities


MBA or msc in management which one is better in terms of job opportunities?
I am planning to Masters in management. I would like to know whether MBA or MSc in Management has more job opportunities. I am confused because MBA is a more generic study of management rather MSc in management involves specialization of 1 particular field. Further information . I am planning to do the masters in UK. Also I have 2 years of experience as a software developer. Kindly let me know which one suit a person with my profile. Also i have distinction in MSC Computer Technology.

the opportunity in either field depend more on you that on the field you choose. The MBA is a general business degree training students for top level management positions up to CEO or for those with entrepreneurial objectives of starting their own business. MBA students study accounting, finance, marketing, management, statistics, economics, strategy, policy, and other courses. Many MBA programs offer concentrations in these and many other fields, but that amounts to only 2-3 courses in your chosen field in the second year of study. Many students avoid a concentration and take a variety of elective subjects to gain a broader background. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree. The Master of Science is a specialized degree in a particular field such as finance, chemistry, accounting, engineering, etc. training students for top level staff and research positions who prefer not to get into general management. The MS typically requires an undergraduate education in the field in which you want the MS, or a closely related field. A finance major does not get an MS in chemistry, and a biology major does not get an MS in accounting. If you want to specialize in a particular field other than business administration, such as finance, marketing, operations management, human resource management, or a non-business field such as public health, or public administration, you should get an MS degree in that specialization. MS programs typically do not require work experience. A good source of information about MBA programs is the Official MBA Guide. It's a free public service with loads of information about the MBA and it has a good search engine for finding the program that fits you best.

While I have an MBA in technology management, I would go for the more technical degree. The linchpin is whether or not you want to be for involved in the software development aspect or not. Your goal has to be towards moving into management positions and who do you want to manage. However, I still believe that with the right guidance business aspect is easier to learn, but the foundational aspect of the technology will be more long lasting.
