Should I pursue an MBA or a Master in Finance

Should I pursue an MBA or a Master in Finance?
I have an Engineering Degree and currently working in the related field BUT I am desperate for a career switch. I really want to get into / break into Corporate Finance, I-banking....M&A, Venture Capitalist, Private Equity, Hedge Funds, Trading, Equity Research. I heard MBA is pretty broad but it's an Education in Business where Master in Finance is drill deep down in Finance. To accomplish or to get where I want, which one should I pursue? My apologies. It's not Master in Finance...it's Master in Management of Finance...It's facilitated by Queen's University

In this era you need to be very well specialized.. Therefore I recommend you going for a master in finance.. the economy is shaky, therefore you will be guaranteed a job that is more specialized especially now in finance

Given what you want, the MS in finance is probably the better choice. The MBA degree was originally created because people were promoted to managerial positions, and often they did not know how to manage, although they were good engineers, or scientists, or factory workers. Companies needed managers who could understand what the workers were saying, and managers without the factory floor experience often did not understand the people they supervised. Business schools responded by creating the MBA degree. It is a general degree designed to train student to enter any area of management up to CEO. MBA programs accept students with any undergraduate degree. 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. The MBA is in contrast to the MS degree which trains students to reach higher levels of knowledge in their specialty so that they can serve as better staff and researchers, with no intention of becoming high level managers. Many schools that offer MBA programs also offer the MS degree you want. Consult the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It's the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.
