MS Engineer to MBA - Insight

I'm an electrical engineer in aerospace with an MS in EE (United States Citizen). I'm currently 1 year into my MBA at Indiana University pursuing a concentration in Business Analytics. I'm cut off from my school's career help due to company sponsorship. I've tried reaching out within my company to learn more about prospects of an MBA, but it didn't help too much, as the main answer was "Golden ticket. Just a piece of paper". 

Can someone provide me with an explanation as to how/where an MBA in Business Analytics can take me in the or if I should specialize in something else? For example, Finance, Strategic Management, or Marketing. 

I'd appreciate any insight into this. Thank you for reading my post.
