Ravi is 20 and currently completing Bachelors of Mass Media.
Most of his friends are planning for an MBA and are preparing for it.
Ravi enjoyed his 3 years of education and is looking forward to studying more.
But Marketing is not one of them, yet he is keen for an MBA.
In fact, he is open to study and move abroad as well.
According to you which other course options are open for Ravi?
Or should he start working?
Comment below to share your suggestions.

Hi, I think as he enjoyed his studies in mass media he can choose to continue his studies abroad in journalism etc and then look for job. As the present job market requires masters degree of the candidates.
Ravi has a bundle of options he can choose from to build his career profile. He can choose to go ahead with gaining work experience in mass communication/media for two years & can choose to go ahead with further education in specialization course with leadership/entrepreneurship/innovation in choice of his country.
He also has an option to take up further education in other fields and can get part time work experience in internship abroad
Since Ravi is on path towards just completing his education he should look forward to start working for now. That will give him the clarity on what the job market needs in his industry while also help him understand what he is capable of doing. Later on he can choose the right course for himself.
Lot of times what we know of the jobs changes once we get involved in it.
I think Ravi should move abroad for studies and select advance course in mass communications, can take up small assignments or do internship to sharpen his skills and get field exposure.
Post completion he can get his job openings
My suggestion is to take an MBA course abroad - it offers a wide range of subjects to study as well as cross-cultural exposure. During internship, Ravi might receive the necessary work experience, prove self and continue a career journey after MBA degree is received.
MBA courses without any experience is not a great choice as good colleges look for experience of at least 2 years. This is further difficult in other countries.
