Career Hotline : PERVIN MALHOTRA Director, CARING (Career Guidance India), New Delhi Options aplenty with English honours Q: I am a student of class XI (arts). I want to do BA (English honours). What are the future prospects in this subject after graduation? Namrata Michael A: After graduation in English (honours), you could either take up teaching in schools (after doing BEd) or join the print or electronic media as a journalist, web content creator, compere, announcer, newsreader, anchor person, scriptwriter, copywriter in an advertising agency, technical writer, public relations executive, etc. Creative writing is another option. With the proliferation of the media, there is a growing demand for those who can communicate with style, ease and competence. An additional course in public relations, journalism, advertising or mass communication would give you the necessary edge. Those with a good command over the English language and basic computer skills can also look at openings in call centres. Courtesy: The Telegraph Kolkata Wednesday 26 October 2005 Vol: XXIV No: 110.
