Okay I know you are probably thinking why the switch. I am switching because I like language, I know i like it enough to study it. I honestly love it, but not all love's can sustain I suppose which is why I am so anxious before signing up for a 2 year program. If you're wondering why engineering if I loved English so much, lets just say family, and society pressure and I had little to no balls to decide for myself, or push.

Coming to my questions:

1. is doing an MA in english in this economy (I come from a middle class background) the same as digging a hole myself?

2. if I do take it, how hard is it going to be to Crack NET? What are some preparation tips you bet will help

3. I have heard a lot of negative news around the fact that people dont get jobs even after clearing NET? Can I please hear your pov on it?

4. my plan B if I dont clear NET in 1st attempt is to not waste time just do a B.Ed and teach in British curriculum schools. Or is that also me being too delusional about? Is it hard to get into international schools. This really matters because I do want to apply to schools in dubai or Kazakhstan if I have enough experience here in India

I love literature and I have been considering MA in English. But 2 years is a long time and the plans my parents have for me are very different from what I plan for myself. They said I shouldn't hope too much on working after MA since they plan to get me married after I graduate. And if I do take MA, as per my plans, I want to enter the teaching field, take the UGC NET. But I was checking teaching jobs on LinkedIn for English, and opportunities are not many, I also have geographical limitations, won't be able to work anywhere outside of bangalore. So is it worth it? Or am I risking time.
