Hi Everyone,
The reason I am writing here is because I have hit the wall, badly! I graduated in February 2014 with a degree in Marketing. I was able to get myself a job in logistics industry and worked there as a sales trainee for about 7 months. I was soon brainwashed(Which obviously is my fault) by my friends to go to Australia to get myself further education which would also help me in immigration (Yes, I belong from middle-east).
I resigned from my job in October 2014 and applied for Australia which took around 4 months of total time which brings us to February 2015. I got my visa and flew to Australia. I am currently doing Masters in Information Technology and I am in my second semester. I hate this place, literally. The education over is ****(according to me) plus with no job scope for international students.
My university offers an exit plan for Graduate Diploma rather than going for Masters degree. I am planning to take the exit and go for an MBA from top university of my country. I have realised I am not type of a person who can live far away from home. I come from a well-off family but this year has been ****. My graph has drastically gone down. Let alone, financially but also personally and professionally.
I do understand that my profile as an MBA candidate is not so strong but what can I do to make it a strong one with this given situation? I am planning to apply in February 2016.
I feel guilty and ****.

You don't really have much work experience to make the strongest case for a valuable MBA at this point. Any consideration to gaining some work experience. Given your comment about coming from a well-off family it would seem the connections stemming from this should give you a leg-up in your job search closer to home. Focus here then revisit the decision to pursue an MBA in a few years once you have a bit more direction. The worst thing you could do is just bounce from grad program to grad program.

Hey there!
Don't feel toooo bad. I mean you had a bad year. And now you have an exit plan. You are allowed to have one year bad year here and there, and also make mistakes too.
At the same time, I'm not sure an MBA at this time is great for you. I mean, if you wanna be close to home, why not go back and get a good job and stick to it for a few years. Then you can always decide if you really want to go away from home again for 2+ years and do an MBA.
Best,
Jon
