Im having some major difficulties with what major to choose. I admited that I prefer IB than Finance. However, I asked around and did more research and eventually came to know that all the international business courses are theory. And Finance seems more marketable.
Please give me as much information as you can in terms of which degree I should study abroad?
The biggest difference is going to be where you study not what you study.
MBAs are just a way to get into the job market, you can get the same skill set far more cheaply by doing accountancy. Just go to the best name brand school you can get into.
f you have a real choice, Finance plus a second language would be the most marketable.

MBA in Finance is a misnomer. Schools grant the MBA degree, not MBA in pharmacy, or MBA in finance, or MBA in marketing. The MBA is a general broad degree that prepares students for high level management positions. MBA students study accounting, finance, marketing, statistics, management, economics, strategy, policy, leadership, and similar courses. The MBA is not like an MS that concentrates in one field and prepares students for staff positions. MBA programs offer concentrations in various fields, but this amounts only to 2-3 elective courses in the second year. Students develop an interest in some subjects more than others, so they tend to select a concentration in the subject of their interest. This happens in the second year of the program, so you have plenty of time to decide. Also the school can advise you whether recruiters in your area are looking for certain concentrations or want broadly educated candidates.
Before you consider which MBA program is for you, consult the Official MBA Guide, a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It’s the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.
