I am fairly new to the MBA search as I only graduated with my bachelor's degree last May. Therefore I have one year of full time work experience. I'm finding this a problem since many good European MBA programs want at least three, but I can't get a decent job with my current Bachelor of Arts in English/International Studies.
I would really like to go back to school this fall instead of trying to find a decent full time job in the business sector with, basically, an English literature degree. I have heard of M. Sc. degrees in management. Would this be a good route for me? I am taking the GMAT this month as well.
I am on a limited budget as my current job pays very poorly and I have no other income source. I'm also in student loan debt, so any information on programs with funding opportunities is helpful as well.

The Financial Times masters in management includes many excellent options that are inexpensive. You can add in a column to show fees.

A lot of the masters in management programs I am seeing in the Financial Times require a business bachelor's degree. Would it be worth it to email these programs and ask if my degree would be sufficient?

That seems like a terrible way to waste their time. Focus on the schools that don't require a prior degree, have low fees but still have good value (that is to say, that the outcomes are not also discounted) See this - https://www.dropbox.com/s/18boe81d3nz1msy/Screenshot%202016-03-09%2020.16.52.png?dl=0
The other option would be to take a one year BBA aimed at people with other degrees, like this one http://www.escem.fr/en/programmes/full-time-programmes/baib/

I didn't notice there was a "relevant degree" option for sorting. That really helps. Thank you!
