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.
According to his age and academic back ground , Ravi should go for an internship programe with similar field get the hands on experience for atleats one and half years and then according to his professional career interest go for Masters in that field from Abroad based studies to strength the Subject Matter Expert and Industry Knowledge. Surley he will get better package aganist the demand
If Ravi is really interested in doing research work he is going to do higher study in India or abroad. If he is not interested in the Research area he should start work in his field & doing some Professional Certificate or Diploma programme related to his field for Enhancing their Skills, getting more Success.
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.
In my opinion,
Mass Media always does not mean journalism. If Ravi is good at his writing skills then he can be a script writer. As you have mentioned, marketing is not one for him, he may choose to be behind the scenes and explore the market. Digital marketing is high in demand these days. He need not go for MBA, he can choose Google certified Digital marketing courses and start earning.
There are courses on Sports management, he can be a sportscaster. He need to explore all the possible options available to him, and then decide.
