Is doing a literature related Masters beneficial in job prospects

>Is doing a literature related Masters beneficial in job prospects at all?
teaching, academia. you can write copy or go into editing if you have connections. probably not a significant plus for much else.

>I am not sure it would be worth the time and money.
if you enjoy it and can avoid going into crippling debt for it just do it. better than a 9-5

Writing copy as in for media publications?

Nope.

What is your reasoning behind no?

When people say 'no,' they mean not in a occupation-targeted way. As in, there are plenty of decent-paying jobs that look solely at people with college degrees and competent communication skills (for example), so your masters would help you here. Think corporate management/communications, coordinators, HR, political staffers, publishing, basically stuff where the job requires a well-adjusted human being instead of any specific skill or degree. What degrees do you think the people who get jobs at, say, the CIA have? Everything from classics to international relations to languages to literature to history. It's all about you.

So yes, it's obviously beneficial relative to most of the populace in getting your foot in the door, but if you're asking what field will be opened exclusively for you, then like the other anon said you're looking at teaching, academic research, technical writing, etc.

This might have applied forty years ago when possessing a masters was actually extremely rare but nowadays its little more impressive than a bachelors degree

What are you basing this on?

Not that guy but he is correct. In the current job market ( at least for half decent jobs) nobody gives a shit about masters degrees. They care about experience really and nothing else.
