Hi,
In the present day scenario the job situation in US and Canada is not very promising due to the global economic turmoil, MBA and MS are two different fields, MS is more into the theoretical and technical aspects of the course field and it add on to the knowledge of what all you have learned during graduation, whereas MBA is holistic course and deals mainly in to the management aspects, both of these courses are highly rated and the students having this degrees are well paid.
You must select the course as per your liking and interest and not as per the job scenario,please remember no university or college in US or Canada guarantees placement, getting a job depends entirely on the knowledge level and caliber of the students.
