So does that mean that if I do B.A in English it would be a complete waste of time right like my 3 years are gonna go on waste. ?

See it's not like if you peruse B.A in English your 3 years are going to get spoiled. It's like if you want to have your career in journalism then why to waste time. Get directly into the bachelor course of journalism and mass communication as after your B.A in English you would require a diploma course in journalism Nd mass communication so it would be a 4 or 5 year studies. If you get directly into BJMC then after 3 year you would be placed in a good firm Good luck
