Which Post-Graduate Degree Is Most Helpful For A PR Professional Today?

I'm in a bit of a complicated situation where I'm not allowed to work in the country I'm in, however I can complete a post-graduate degree at a relatively lower cost.

I already have a BA in Communications but I'm aware that it's an industry that values job experience. If you had the choice, what would you go for?
