Honours after a Bachelor's Degree?

College Life
1

Hey everyone.

Forgive me if I put this in the wrong place. I really don’t know where this is more appropriate.

I’m currently finishing up my second year of my Bachelor of Arts degree, my major being English. I was originally not considering doing Honours after I finish my Bachelor’s, but my family is thinking that it would do a world of good.

My question would be: is doing Honours worth it?

Make no mistake. After my years in uni, I have slowly become disillusioned with the value of a university education, though I’m not about to quit uni any time soon. I just wonder what the purpose of doing Honours is, and whether it will prove any help at all as I aim to be a simple primary school teacher.

Thank you in advance.

I’m assuming you aren’t studying in the US? If so, you may want to make that clear being that many of the posters here are American and may answer you incorrectly, as that’s not a term that’s used here - at least, not in the way I think you’re using it. Do you mean post-graduate studies?
