Is I-banking the only way to go??

I don’t know much about what kinds of jobs you can get after getting an MBA, but all I seem to see on this board is talk of being an investment banker. Is that the only thing you can do with an MBA?? What else is out there? Does anyone know of any good resources where I can research this further?

I had wanted to go and get my masters in public administration because I had always been interested in public sector and government mangement. My girlfriend and father however are giving me crap about it, saying I should get an MBA instead because an MPA would limit me to only the public sector. My know it all father thinks that an MBA would afford me more opportunities.

I don’t feel like listening to either of them, but I want to make sure I don’t make the wrong decision, get a non-MBA masters degree and then be stuck in a career with no financial rewards. Is there any trend of MBA graduates working for government related agencies? I just want to know what kind of opportunities are out there for MBAs besides investment banking.
