Why would it be too late for a Masters? They are virtually very similar, with little differences. Whereas a MBA often requires work experience and people have various undergrad degrees, the Masters is generally for people who have an undergrad degree in business.
There are a lot of misconceptions about the degrees, but in their essence they are very similar. A Master in Marketing or Master of Business in Marketing is pretty much the same as an MBA with an emphasis in Marketing.
I say, go for the degree that is offered at the better school and is targeting what it really is you want to do. There is such little difference in the perception of these degrees, yet the schools you obtained them at are often very important. So it’s either an MBA with an emphasis in Marketing for you or a Masters in Marketing.
Keep in mind, the MBA was mainly designed for people who do not have an educational background in business. If you look at the curriculum, you see that many classes repeat entirely. Often times Masters programs do require certain classes as well, yet they can be in more detail and they might give you a little more latitude when it comes to the selection of those classes.
Employers will be impressed that you have a Masters in Business. The head of my former department did not even have a Masters at all and earned a 6 figure salary, whereas guys with an MBA had little office jobs in the company. So it depends a lot on the experience and of course the job connections and the alumni network you can get acquainted with during your Masters. That’s why a better school is more important than the difference between MBA and Master.
