<p>I am about to finish my BA in History with minor in Chemistry. My teacher thinks i am really good in History and should do MA in it. BUT i have no interest in doing history for living. I just like reading about it. I am interested in sales/marketing/advertising etc. But do I have any chance in sales/marketing with BA in histroy degree? Should I go ahead and do MA in history? Even though i will not do anything History related. Will I have better Job chances in sales/adversting with MA than just having BA?</p>
<p>please any help would be great. I have only couple of months to plan. since i will have to take MAT for MA.</p>
<p>The short answer is, yes, you have plenty of opportunities with the BA. You should get in touch with your school’s career services office - the most intensive interview season is early spring so you may have missed this year’s cycle if you’re about to graduate. Nevertheless, CS can still help you.</p>
<p>Now… an advanced degree does tend to open more doors. If you can get that MA without paying for it (i.e. through a fellowships or RA/TA-ship) I would say go ahead. If its going to be another two years of loans, don’t bother. </p>
<p>One last comment - most programs in the US (at least) are looking for the GRE not the MAT, so be sure you’re taking the right test for the school(s) you’re applying to.</p>
<p>I think I will have to pay for my MA since my grades were not all that grade. I will have about 3.5 gpa in major and 2.76 over all gpa. I dont think they will give any fellowships to a 2.76 gpa.</p>
<p>So i guess I should just stick with BA for now.</p>
<p>and thanks for letting me know about the school’s career services office . I had no idea we had one. I should make one or two trips there. See if they can help me.</p>
