Should I opt for higher studies or pursue a job after completing a course in performing arts (theater and television) and why?

Performing arts (theatre and television) course must be leading you to a job in the related field. For example, I take the FTII or NSD course which works as an eligibility or competence certification to enter the field of theatre or commercial cinema or even television world. If the job/assignment/projects you are getting after the course are good and will certainly take you to the place where you aim to be (does not mean superstardom, but sensible, good work), do go ahead and join the work. If you still feel you have more to learn and specialise then freely go and study. Education in the domain of theater, performing arts will make you a scholar and you can enter teaching and education of the same then. Work experience in the field shall always be needed though. A career should not be delayed when you are good at obtaining a certificate.
