Question
hi.. i am doing my aerospace engineering 3 rd year in (chennai) INDIA ... i would like 2 do my post graduate in US .. i am in a confused situation whether to take MBA airport management or MS in aerospace engineering .. which of the course do you think has a good job opportunity ? and the universities offering the above courses  

Answer
That is a tough question because it is really a personal decision.  The best career choice is to enter a field that you enjoy the most and have the best skills for.  But let me offer a few pros and cons for MBA versus MS.

If you work in the U.S., an MBA in airport management would require excellent communication skills in English.  This puts you at a disadvantage as I can see from your message to me that contains numerous errors, but it could be overcome in time.  

An MS in aerospace engineering would require more technical skills which I assume you have or could learn in graduate school.  However, many aerospace jobs require U.S. citizenship for security reasons.  That is a disadvantage which also could be overcome in time - a lot of time.

Check websites of airports and aerospace companies (e.g., Boeing) to see job opportunities.  Google U.S. engineering schools for courses and requirements.
