Ans: First step would be to secure a job as you will have some job experience in case you plan to do a job at a later stage. Secondly do post graduation in area of your interest. If you are not sure then can do MBA. But your gap years may create problem at later stage to get a job. So would recommend you to do some short term job oriented courses and look out for a job.
