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?

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