what are my chances in persuing a career after having done b.a. english?

Hi, Well there are plenty of things you can do after studying English Literature. Careers in publishing require people with backgrounds in English very often. You can go into the fields of journalism, and translation; script/novel/play writing if you have a creative flair and an interest in writing

if you have english + history/geography than you go for Tourism/travel industry which have lots of income with adventure.
