         Have a nice day!BYE

ANSWER: There is no such thing as a right degree.  It all depends on what you want to do with your life and career.  Do you like computers?  Or are you doing computers because it pays well?  DO you like programming?  Do you like designing software?  Or do you see yourself starting or managing a business?

Without those questions that tells me what you are seeking, I can not answer this question.

Answer
Hi vikyathini,

You just answered your own question.  But you continue to ask...

I think you have a conflict between financial (MBA) vs. personal decision (MS) and not sure which is right.  That's why you continue to ask this question when you answered it.

I think it's the question of "What I like" vs. "$$$".  Most people will pick the latter.

I can not answer this question for you.  Nor anybody else.  That is a personal choice and there is no such thing as right or wrong.  It's simply a choice.

But I can give a tip to help you.
Take a coin and toss it in the air.  Say "front" or "back" (in US, we call it 'heads'(front) or 'tails'(back)).  Toss, pick (e.g. "front for MBA"), and see what the coin says and let it choose.

Look at the answer and let me know what you think.  Let me know what you think, and I will tell you what your next step should be.
