A subtle difference, but one that must be recognized before choosing between the fields, is that
MBAs - Management skill is not easily taught, and a MBA degree will not open any doors for you if you're not a *born* leader *before* entering the program. Also, a good manager doesn't need an MBA to be hired into a position....MBAs compete for management positions against people with Engineering degrees, Physics degrees, no degrees etc. Thus, getting an MBA degree is viewed as a waste of time by many companies. Many companies hire from within...for example, the Directors and VPs in most computer companies have Engineering degrees, not MBAs.
.....thus, MBA is a very fuzzy degree. It's value is not seen abroad in other countries such as Europe, China etc.
M.D. - you don't need to be born a doctor...a degree MAKES you a doctor! The degree is the golden ticket to the job. It doesn't matter how great you are....you could be Einstein himself....but you will *NOT* be a doctor without a degree. You *cannot* get a job as a doctor without an M.D. degree by law. Thus, doctors never compete against other people....they're sheltered from external competition.
That's my 2cents.....generally I think MBAs are are almost totally useless.
