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.

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
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
Infact otherthan MBA there two courses where Ravi should go for:
Ravi should go for Politics and International Relations as PG so that his UG will get aligned.
He should also go for digital markteing courses (especially social Media that assists in Media and Communication)
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.
