Machine Learning/AI Masters vs MBA

Let's say that I have some interest in both investment banking (because I enjoying interacting with and persuading people) as well as in quantitative finance (from an analytical perspective, as I know some ML and this would be a potential "easy money" strategy). My background is in computer science, but I'm basically thinking about what I should pursue and which path might be more interesting in the long term. Money is of course a factor. This is WSO, after all.Thoughts and opinions?
