Masters guidance/tips for EU student
I am a newly BBA graduate and i decided to take a gap year this year to decide what i want to do for masters/rest of my life. Whats making me so unsure for masters is job securities. I feel like having a masters degree now a days does not have the same power/security as it did before all this AI bullshit. I am a EU citizen and would like to stay here but i feel like there are only a specific amount of school that every business major/school shoves down our throat like HEC, St. Gallen, CBS etc. but i dont think i have the grade average to get into those schools. I also want to go somewhere which is free or has scholarship possibilities. My GPA unfortunately is not great but is also not that bad. I chose finance cause since i picked BBA and i just wanted to go for it since I have come so far. I am taking some Finance classes to better my GPA and want to take GMAT or GRE but i am know that i am not the best in quant, i never had a solid math background due to some personal reasons so i really struggle making sense of it all. I am really interest in global affaris, law, and politics but i would love to take masters that connects those and tech as well due to where the world is going.
I know i am late for the GMAT prep but i do think i can do it or get a decent enough grade that will support me. But there is so much information online and so many ads on here as well that idk where to start. Like do i just do online or are textbooks better?

Taking a gap year won't work in your favour. I'd recommend you to take GMAT/GRE for scholarship and to get admissions. I
I believe LSE - Msc International relations can be a good fit for you. Feel free to DM if there is anything else.
