i have done MA in English and B.ed but i am working in a school as a admission counsellor , i want get more qualification but unable to choose good course kindly help me out in this matter

Dear Aspirant, Factually, MA English and BEd is a very qualification for making a career in teaching. I am surprised that you are into admission counselling which has nothing to do with BEd and MA English. Can you tell me why are not getting teaching jobs? With MA and BEd you are also eligible to work in a junior college (10+2) level apart from a school.  I suggest that you should look out for jobs in teaching. Further, you should prepare for UGC NET/SET exam in English so that you get eligible for senior college and post graduate teaching. This is the qualification will can definitely ge
