MSF or MBA

Hey so I am in between applying to an MBA or an MSF. Looks like I’ll likely be laid off soon and I am planning on using a degree to rerecruit. I graduated from a target school in a non-finance/stem major and will be coming in with a year or more depending on if I find a new position which may or may not still be in finance.

I am leaning MSF, especially European, due to costs and then I’ll having the ability to pursue an MBA later on likely with a better school. The other issue I see is not being able to find something to tide me over before attending next year which don’t know if that should change my decision.
