I am currently an undergraduate junior just trying to plan out my future. Anyway, I have the ability to graduate from undergrad a semester early, and then believe I will have an option to get two masters degrees without much cost. My state has a program where you get undergrad paid for ahead of time by your parents, and you get the number of credits required for a bachelors degree. I have this, and I have a plan for my schedule for the next couple semesters such that I can graduate with 52 of those credits remaining. I've heard MBA programs do not like "degree collectors" but that a Masters in Engineering is usually okay. However, is two masters overdoing it? I don't see any point in not using the credits, so the question is what to do with them.
My undergraduate degree is Computer Science, I currently have no minors, but am not to far off. If I do the two masters degrees, I'm thinking Industrial Engineering (with a heavy OR focus), and Economics. IE for a good job, Econ because I really like Econ. The cost of this will be about 21K. (I have no undergraduate debt, and I'll use internship money to pay that off).
If I don't do that, and do just 1 masters degree (Industrial Engineering), I can do a dual BSE & BA in Economics and Computer Science, and minor in Math. The additional cost of this will be approximately 5K.
I do eventually want to get an MBA, and I realize that will render the masters degrees somewhat useless, but again, no sense in not using those credits.
What are your guy's thoughts? Which should I go with?

I already have 3 Master's degrees and my MBA is my 4th one 
... I would assume that you're safe with two if you can explain why you need an MBA at the time you will apply.

if you really want the 1 extra one and think it's worth the 5k, then go for it. the cost of the 2nd master's doesn't seem to be worth it IMO. just be sure you choose your majors wisely. comp sci + econ + IE seem to be (on the surface at least) 3 very unrelated majors. you can always make the argument for having 1 seemingly unrelated masters (i.e. trying to "broaden your perspective"), but having 2 masters like that makes it much harder to justify.
