Every student feels confused after graduation to decide whether to prepare for a Master degree or to apply for a job or to take an internship, etc...
According to my experience, here's the plan:
Master degree: If you like the academic life or you have an opportunity to be a teaching assistant, start preparing for a Master degree especially if you are going to be a teaching assistant, don't miss this opportunity until you find a better job.
Job vs Internship: The right decision depends on your skills. If you have a good portfolio (e.g. created more than 3 apps or 3 websites, etc.), then apply directly for a job (Top 3 websites to find a job). If you don't have a good portfolio, you have to take an internship especially the ITI free internship (Everything about ITI 9-Month Program for graduates only) or start developing side-projects.
NOTE THAT: A good portfolio means that you are not a fresh graduate, you really have experience and you are suitable for jobs that require 1-2 years of experience. So please apply with full confidence.
Own a Startup: It's too early to build your own startup, you should work at any software company for at least 5 years to gain the required knowledge and experience needed for startup management.
Travel: If you want to study abroad, then you should prepare for IELTS/TOEFL exams and be ready to dig into so different (not easy) life that requires a charismatic person. If you want to work outside Egypt, then I think it is hard for a fresh graduate but it becomes easier gradually when you gain work experience. The more years of work experience here, the better chance to find a job outside.
