Can you get into Consulting with a degree in International Relations from a prestigious school?

I got an offer for graduate studies at a prestigious school. I am now undecided if I want to study for a Master's in International Relations or if I should study for a Master's in something business-related at the same school.

My heart says International Relations and my brain says something business-like.

My background is that I have a BBA - Bachelor's in Business Administration and although I got a 3.8 / 4.0 GPA, I am just sick and tired of Math, Statistics, Finance, Accounting, Econ... and I would finally want to do something fun to me... friends and family have contradictory opinions... parents insist I go for something "reasonable" (in their eyes business)... friends say "do what you like..."

In forums and via research I also found contradictory views: On the one hand, "reasonable" majors like Math, Finance, Engineering, Business etc. are proclaimed to be THE way to go... on the other hand, I also found a couple of examples of people in finance and consulting with degrees in law, politics or even history and medicine.
