What should I do, Is studying abroad still worth it if I plan to return to India?

I’m 20f, my_qualifications, almost in my 3rd year of BBA events & entertainment at a tier 2 city private universityin India. Honestly, I feel very confused about what I should do after graduation.

For the longest time, my dream was to study abroad for my master’s, mostly in countries where scholarships are possible and quality of life/exposure is better, like Germany or somewhere similar. A big reason isn’t just education, but also because I’ve always wanted to experience living abroad, meeting different people, and seeing a different culture for a few years.

Originally, I thought I would settle abroad too, but because of family reasons, I know now that I’ll eventually come back to India after my master’s.

Recently, I spoke to the founder/CEO of an app startup, who Mind u was an iim alumni and he told me that if my long-term goal is business, then doing an MBA abroad and coming back may not really be worth it. According to him, if I’m not planning to stay abroad permanently, I might be better off spending those years building something instead. He even said if I wanna do business I shouldn’t even do mba

That honestly made me question everything.

My second option has always been entrepreneurship. I do have a few business ideas and I genuinely like the idea of building something of my own. But I have no guidance, no mentor, and nobody in my family or extended family has a business background. I don’t even know where to properly start or how people actually go from “idea” to “real business.”

My third option is getting a job directly after graduation, maybe in Dubai or somewhere abroad for work experience, but I’m equally unsure about that path too it’s not easy and well i obviously want to pursue masters not sure if I should stay in India i don’t want to get education here tbh the academics here is not what I want
I know nobody can decide for me, but I’d genuinely appreciate advice from people who’ve been in similar situations especially people who studied abroad and returned to India, or people who started businesses without family connections or mentorship.
How did you figure out what path was right for you?

confused between MBA abroad, entrepreneurship, or working after graduation?

I’m 20f currently almost in my 3rd year of BBA events & entertainment at a tier 2 city private universityin India. Honestly, I feel very confused about what I should do after graduation.

For the longest time, my dream was to study abroad for my master’s, mostly in countries where scholarships are possible and quality of life/exposure is better, like Germany or somewhere similar. A big reason isn’t just education, but also because I’ve always wanted to experience living abroad, meeting different people, and seeing a different culture for a few years.

My third option is getting a job directly after graduation, maybe in Dubai or somewhere abroad for work experience, but I’m equally unsure about that path too.

Right now I feel stuck between:

  1. Doing a master’s/MBA abroad for exposure and opportunities
  2. Starting a business early and focusing fully on entrepreneurship
  3. Getting a job first and figuring life out later

I know nobody can decide for me, but I’d genuinely appreciate advice from people who’ve been in similar situations especially people who studied abroad and returned to India, or people who started businesses without family connections or mentorship.

we’ve been together for 11 months now and both of us are each others first relationships. We are in love and j thought man I won a lottery i am his first everything, he never stalks women he’s loyal bla blah but ever since our 11 months together, he’s not as Romantic as he used to be but yes his efforts are still great.
But just now I went through his following I found like 20 girls he’s following who are conventionally attractive and they’re not his friends or classmates or anyone I know, any other females he used follow beside them were ppl I knew or were his college mates but this time it hit me bad
He claims to love me so much his actions says so but this is something I don’t understand, I’ve told him twice before that I don’t like it when u follow random girls or like their posts he stopped but it’s repeating again
And few Days I grabbed his phone he literally panicked although I didn’t find anything but I couldn’t dive deeper he snatched from my hands this never happened before he’s always been loyal I don’t think he’s cheating but something is fishy

I can’t compromise with this behaviour even after telling him not to do that twice before.
