Hello friends,

I am in my final semester of MBA.
I am taking one last class before I am done.
I will be graduating in May and it would be time to go and look for a job.

I have talked with two consultancies about what classes they provide and what I should do from now to be ready by the end of this semester.

I am a business major student so they both tell me to go do BA and/or QA

But when I talk to my friends with the similar circumstance like mine they did IT related classes like UNIX, Linux, Java, oracle or dot net and now they have their H1B. They tell me to go for IT field specially something like UNIX. Because that's what two of my friends did who are relatively close to me.

Now, my dilemma is in selecting the field.

Considering the fact that I need to apply for H1B once I get the job which field would be the most appropriate?

About my background in computers: I had done some C++ while I was in Nepal. However I was more gravitated towards graphic designing and post production when I was back home.

Does developer or database sound plausible?
Or should I stick with Business Analyst (BA) and/or Quality Assurance (QA)?

NEED CONSULTATION PLEASE!!!
