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.
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.
Since Ravi is keen on studying further and his present choice of speacilisation is very interesting and offers a lucrative career .In such a case he can opt for doing an MBA with specialisation in digital transformation and data science .Also he can pursue an MBA in integrated marketing and mass communication.
There are some good options offred online also which he can explore. Benefit of doing it online is that he can work parallely and gain some hand on experience which can give him an edge in later stages of career planning.
Hope that helps.
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.

Ravi can pursue Master’s in Mass Communication or go for Event Management. Under Event Management one can learn and apply multi-disciplinary skills while exploring their creative side. It will also give him edge to start his own entrepreneurial journey
