Confused about Masters

[Mehra]

I am currently in the final year of engineering in applied physics and I am thinking of opting "Management" or "Business" related career. Now I know I should have taken Commerce for that but its too late to think about that.
So, for going for the Management or Business related career I am thinking about going for Masters directly after my graduation, that is without going for a job first. Masters in Management, or Finance and I was thinking of giving GMAT. I don't have any full-time work experience, just industrial training and internships.
Do you think, giving GMAT (instead of GRE) is a good idea? I am asking because most of the people giving GMAT are doing jobs and have some experience but then again, I think they are aiming for MBA instead of Masters.
Any suggestions or ideas? Go for job, then Masters or Masters then MBA or Masters then job etc.?

Thanks

GMAT encompasses Master in Finance, Master in Finance, Master in Financial Engineering. It is basically a test for graduate business school. I think the MBA is associated with the GMAT because it is the most well known graduate business degree in the US.

The GRE is a little lighter on the quant and is used for a variety of graduate degrees. I personally think they are all about the same and enjoy the competition with the GMAT (which I am not a huge fan of).


Personally, I would advise you to work for a bit. Seems like you are confused on what you want to do and actually working will help you decide what you like and don't like. A little income never hurts either. I'd had to see you do a masters in a subject and end up not liking it and being back to square one.
