I need some help in identifying the right programs for me, I am still unsure whether an MBA or MS works better for my profile
I have 2 years experience in top level sports management in india - previously I have another 2 years experience in communication and marketing management with a few fashion and luxury brands, a little stint in event marketing too, I want to do a course/ MAB that will give me an edge in the media and entertainment industry - preferably sports, in the US or europe

Hey there,
The answer is simpler than you think.
Follow your market. Where are your target employers?
Like Media for sports (say ESPN and the like) or sports management companies, or television.
Well ESPN is in CT, and I don't know your target industry very well personally, but I'm sure YOU do!
Follow your nose, it should be easy to find :)

Best,
Jon

 Thanks for your simple and sweet response, however the answer could be more complicated than that
I am from India, so I also need to look at job prospects in the country and industry I choose, hence the dilemna
For ex top schools like NYU and UCLA not only are competitive to get into, but also claim exorbitant Fees, as high as 50K $ a year, is it all worth it ?

Hey there,
Its worth it. Put aside in your mind the fear of paying out so much money (Which I admit is an extraordinary sum for Indians). And instead look at Post-MBA salaries. Any quick calculation will make you realize how worth it it is. Basically the way it works is that the better school you get into the better job get and the better job you get the higher your salary at the higher your chances of getting a work visa. So it's all worth it in the end.

I hope this helps!!
Best,
Jon
