MBA or MS electrical engineering??


hi,
i am in the final year of BS ELECRTICAL ENGINEERING from UET, pakistan. these days, since its about time that i start applying for higher studies, i'm a bit confused about whether to pursue MS in my field or rather start MBA from US. i'm opting for US as i'm a US citizen but since my birth i've never been to US.

personally, i desire to study management in future because i think i'm more inclined towards studing it rather studing MS. but the problem arises when i take an advise or share my plans about my future with my seniors in industries they reccommend me to not to study MBA right after my BS electrical engineering. they start with an argument that that MBA after BS electrical engg is not appreciated in the companies and in addition i would not be able to continue with my field in later life.

i want suggestions to help clear out my confusion.i believe this blog site may help me out in making a right choice for my future.

thanks,

You won't be able to get into a top MBA outside India or Pakistan without work experience. Take an MS, perhaps in management.

thanks, Duncan.
but tell me that does MS management also require work experience in US?
