If you are decided on what you want to do - go for the masters. It advances you better in your field and gives you a better idea how your chosen profession will work.

If you are still up in the air, do a double major in a field that will (1) reinforce your first and (2) provide you with additional opportunities. For example, I knew a guy who did a double in Math and Electrical Engineering - the Math certainly helped the EE, but also allowed the chance to go into areas like Finance.
