BS English scope in Pakistan:
After knowing what this course is
and what are its aims, one can easily understand the main question of this
article i.e. What is the scope of English in Pakistan OR What are the jobs for
BS English in Pakistan?
This course promises its hardworking
students a bright and high-paying career as a teacher, lecturer in schools or
colleges and if that person continues to finish his Ph.D. and become a
professor or a doctor, he could earn millions per month by just teaching in a
good university.
There is a huge requirement for
people who have BS English degrees in publishing institutions. They do editing,
translation, proofreading, and their earnings could start from 30,000 rupees
per month to even higher, given that they have mastery in their field.
Foreign NGOs such as IFPARI, IMC, Iqra fund,
Islamic Relief Worldwide, and many more require people who can understand and
speak the English language well. These people act as a bridge between the
organization and local people whom they are trying to help. So having a good
command of the English language would most definitely help you get a job in one
of those high-paying NGOs.
Media has become a very important
part of our society. And is willing to pay a huge amount to those who would
prove themselves to be unique in their analysis, their writing, content
writing, and creative writing. Critical analysis is a huge part of the BS
English course and the media channels are consistently looking for those who
have a strong grip on criticism.
Blogging is another most important
scope for BS English students. Only knowing the language isn’t enough for
making a living in this field. One must also know about politics, sociology,
psychology, anthropology, social sciences, and many other types of knowledge
related to the specific niche one writes on in his blogs. A BS English student,
because of his grip on the language and professional writing, would be able to
write those blogs more professionally than anyone else out there.
BS English student also has a good
advantage over the others when he is in a competitive exam like CSS, PCS, PMS,
FPSC, PPSC, etc. Everyone who gives these tests especially CSS, says that the
English part and more specifically the English essay part was the most
difficult one, so a student who would have a degree in English would most
likely attempt that part with much ease than anyone else in that examination
hall.
There are also a huge number of
opportunities for BS English students to apply for government jobs in
organizations such as NADRA, WAPDA, Foreign Service of Pakistan, Federal Public
Service Commission, etc. Students of BS English could also apply for these
government institutions and along with the high pay, they will also have other
benefits such as medical, educational, and pension when they become old.
There are also foreign mission jobs
that require its, applicants, to promote peace, stability, and prosperity while
