What are everybody's thoughts? It'd be in Economic History (LSE), MBA (M7) in the US (after a few years of work experience). Doesn't seem much of an overlap in content, but might be a waste of an extra year of work?

No, but I enjoy studying global macro, globalization, previous deleveragings, asset class returns throughout these credit cycles in comparison to the present credit crunch, etc. I was thinking about LSE's MSc Finance but meh, I'll be learning this on the job?

Ok, well what do you want to end up doing? IB, ER, S&T, A&M, PE? You don't need an MSc to get an MBA as your work experience will suffice. If you're already at a target for undergrad then getting an MSc at LSE is moot as you already have that pedigree stamp. Save yourself the 50k and just get a job.

I would choose one or the other, not both.
