M.A

Yes MA students too get placed from colleges if you join an enterprising college. Like I know of LPU which sends its students of MA English as free lancers and allows them to start writing papers in reputed journal. It helps them to work as freelancers. LPU has its own editorial board.
It gives large concessions to its students of masters to pursue Phd so that they can make a successful career in the academics.
LPU also offers many scholarships to ease education. LPU is offering an online (remote) counseling/admissions process during the COVID-19 pandemic national lock-down period. Measures have also been undertaken to support prospective students (candidates) to apply for admissions in different programmes:
So masters is a good option and if you add it with a Phd it would enhance your career to be a professor in a university .
