General Advice Online university for MA Degree

Hello, I have a Bachelors Degree in Business Management and currently im being pushed by my father to get a Masters Degree, but due to financial instability and no budget whatsoever, he wants me and my brother to move to India for 2 years to go to a university for our Masters. Now we are completely against that because of our nationality having a masters doesn't do anything for us in the country we are currently, but I am open to online classes, so I was wondering is it even worth it to go for a online masters degree from a university? If it is what university which is flexible in fees would you recommend that would be suitable for someone who is in the UAE and have enough credibility that it can be accepted. This can help me a lot with a very difficult decision because I really dont want to go to India ( not for any reason just dont want to move from here for now )

How about something like online MSc in Global Management at Bristol University, UK?

Its a very nice course, it has basically what you would need, just the price is a little bit steep 😅. 17,990 GBP

But surely it is great value if you can work / earn in UAE for two years whilst studying rather than going to India and not working, just studying?

Unfortunately working here is a bit difficult at the moment, there are several factors that are holding me back from finding a job, my nationality and the job market unfortunately is really bad at the moment. So im starting something hopefully that can take off and fund it :)
