I complted BA in english and confused about doing MA in english or mass comm.Which field wud provide better job prospects in long run?

Hi, English Hons is a fairly flexible course and offers diverse careers such as- 1. Management careers - Marketing, Human Resources etc 2. Hospitality, Event Management, Public Relations, Corporate Communications 3. Media careers like Advertising, Journalism and Film Making 4. Academic careers like Teaching and Research and particularly Training. English Language Training is a big and growing sector in India with jobs freelance and full-time options as an English language trainer or a voice and accent trainer. 5. You could also do an MA or a B.Ed, or take up some of the Professional courses. 6. Studying a foreign language full time can be an excellent career option. Getting an advanced degree (Master’s / PhD ) in studying foreign languages can have an exciting value proposition. *Either of the two can be taken up since both can add credibility to your resume. The decision should depend upon your interest, skills, aptitude and career goals. Found this useful? Click on the thumbs up below or mark it as best.

Rather than job prospects, you should concentrate more on where your interest and aptitude lie. Mass Comm is a professional course and will prepare you for a career in Mass Media and Journalism. Is this something that you foresee yourself doing in future? On the other hand, MA in English will pave way for a career in academics, creative writing, editing etc. Does this interest you? The best person to answer this question is you.
