If I pursue a Masters of Science as well as a Masters of Business, what job opportunities are there?

I'll be attending UCSD in the fall for my freshman year. They have a program where I can receive a Bachelor of Science in 4 years, but also a special program where I can work to receive a Masters of Science after just a year of graduate school. I was thinking of combining this with an MBA program. I'm not sure if I want to go into medicine or business as a career. I'm also debating double majoring in Human Biology and Management Science (or do one of them as a minor), then pursuing either a Masters of Science or Business. What job opportunities are there for people with an MS and an MBA? Is it worth the time and money or should I choose a more specific path into either business or medicine?

That's pretty ambitious and I'm all for people learning a lot, but if I could give one recommendation to people is to work for a few years after attaining a bachelor's degree before they pursue a master's. How do you know you want to go into business? What area of business? There are so many variables that I feel you may be wasting time going directly from undergrad into a grad program. I worked for ten years before pursuing an MBA and I knew exactly what I wanted to do by then and the coursework was infinitely more meaningful with real world experience behind me. Sure, you will have plenty of job oppportunities with both a business degree and MS, but it's worth seeing what you want to do before jumping in.

Reply:chech the answers for B.sc and then check the internet for future opportunities. My dad has a AAS and a MBC and doesn't use either of them. It depends on what you chose.
