I completed B.Sc Costume Design and Fashion and due to managerial area of interest and not wish to do sewing practical wish to continue in theoretical study as Master of Fashion Management at NIFT, but once after I try to join Ph.D in Costume Design and Fashion or Ph.D in Fashion, institution are rejected by saying the reason that I wants to complete my Post Graduation in M.Sc Costume Design and Fashion to join Ph.d in fashion and I gone to join Ph.d in Management they are saying that you must wants to join in MBA not Master of Fashion Management. Finally I join at one deemed university on Ph D in Management Science but many of them convey that due to your PG degree and Ph.d is non sink, definitely you won't get opportunity to work as Lecturer either in Fashion design or Management.
So what I want to do,
? If I study MBA online will it's valid and consider online MBA as qualification ?
? or else shall I go abroad and try to become lecture in Fashion design and Fashion management ? If yes which country has more opportunity to work as Lecturer in Fashion, will at abroad they accept my PG and Ph.D degree. Due to non-guidance and by seeing the name of NIFT I joined and facing total regrets. Kindly please give a solution
