After going back and forth between tons of different majors, I decided to major in Philosophy and Math, because I figure from there I could go to graduate school for anything from law to physics to business, if I so choose. I wanted something that didn't feel like it was limiting my options, but rather expanding them, and at the same time, interesting.
What do you want out of your education? What's important to you? What type of work do you want to do? What kind of income? Would you sacrifice a generally fun job for a stressful one that pays more?
The thing about business degrees is that they are everywhere. Tons of people have MBA's, and that means a lot of jobs for them will be competitive. It provides you with a good education, but it doesn't mean you're going to be at the top of some company when you graduate. I wonder what the average income is for people with MBA's? I bet it's relatively low compared to other Master degrees. I'm not saying they're bad, but you should do your best to know what you're getting into before you come to any decisions.
