I would like to earn a master's in finance. The problem is I also want to go on business ventures later on. Would I be better off attempting only the finance degree now n wait to get an in MBA in Entrepreneurship or simply combine them both?

Most good business schools over finance classes related to venture capital, so you can always take those, and get a feel for how to raise money for your business. In my opinion, Entrepreneurship is not all that it is cracked up to be. Some of the classes that are offered are instinct-type classes like Negotiation Strategies, and Overviews of Start-up Businesses. You can find that stuff out on your own. I would look into Accounting, or Operations, or Marketing over Entrepreneurship. But definitely go for Finance first and see where that takes you.

If some of the classes overlap, many schools will allow you to do both at the same time, and in the process cut down on your overall workload. I just finished my master's degree and saw a small handful of energetic students doing just that. It'll be worth it to get it all done now if you truly want it. Once you start into a job, it will be difficult to push yourself back into school again because your new job will take a lot of your time and devotion to set a good example.

MBA in Entrepreneurship sounds phoney to me, dont get me wrong, I have an MBA too, and own a company with my dad and brother. I'm all for education too, but I'd have to go with the finance degree - it's probably more mathematically and budget driven intense, the MBA is probably more about disussion and talking about stuff which would probably benefit you after you get some ownership experience.
