I am currently doing S.Y.B.A. and I am planning to do three papers in English Literature and three papers in Psychology for my third year. But I do not know what I want to do after that. Please suggest some good career choices for me as I am an introvert and would like to work in Goa and not anywhere else.
While the traditional careers for English majors are teaching, editing, and writing, it is not unusual to find these students in a wide variety of occupations. Translation is yet another area, especially if you’re familiar with other languages besides English. Creative writing and even technical writing is yet another option. Please remember that a career in technical writing does not require a scientific or engineering background, but it does require an excellent command of the English language and the ability to write logically, clearly and accurately.
Psychology graduates have knowledge of the assessment of personality, intelligence and attitudes, interviewing techniques, questionnaire design and analysis, child development, and methods of teaching and learning. This knowledge can be applied to an enormous number of occupations and professions like market research, social work, personnel management and career guidance. They may also be involved in investigations such as crime detection and lie detection.
So there are various options open for you. I’m sure you can find something of your interest in Goa.
