What is the possible career options for Scrum Master in IT Industry ? 

What do you think about the idea of a Scrum Master being a vocation in itself?

This topic has been discussed many times in these forums.  Here are a few that I found with a simple search for "career".

I believe that reading those posts might be a good start for you to get an understanding.  After reading them, you could then come back and ask some specific questions.  The biggest problem with the question you pose is that every company will do things differently, have different titles for who does the job (my current title is Agile Team Coach for example and I know of one company that uses Program Manager).  So it is difficult for us to give you a list of job titles to pursue.  But there are many job functions should you decide to leave the Scrum Master career.
