Which pre MBA career shall I go for?

I am doing a masters degree and I plan to do an MBA in two/three years time.

I am researching careers.

It is unlikely I will get something in finance.

My other choices are engineering, teaching, working in the department of work and pensions, for a finance recruitment firm.

Which one of these careers is the best pre MBA?
