As an english major how to develop actual skills for future jobs?
Hello everyone, I'm currently in my first year of English hons. I got into literature because of my love for teaching and the subject. But the more I discover things around me the more I feel naive. Recently the UGC net paper leak was definitely a hit for me, then also the fact there's no vacancies for professoring jobs. I'm feeling lost and disturbed. I've looked into other tech fields as I heard that they're in demand but I am pretty sure they don't interest me.
Every degree is useless if one doesn't have any skills. I'm lacking proper guidance and feeling alone. Is my degree useless? Should I change it all together? Or gain skills beside my degree? If yes then what skills and how to gain them? Is Coursera really worth it? How should I do proceed and what to do? What qualifications should I chase to get proper office jobs?
