Hey all ,
I hold BA in English language and literature and I work as a teacher .
I am considering my MA now ,
so I have two choices :
1- master degree in English language
2- international marketing ( which I know nothing about*)

* : I thought about international marketing , as it would open new opportunities since I already can use my BA .

The question is : which one to choose ? I care for my career and how much I earn , and in couple years am moving to Emirate in the middle east to earn some money ,

so if I go for international marketing would it be easy to find a well paid job in here that ? ( And I don't want to work the whole day to earn good money )

so which would offer me : less time working+good earning ?

if you are going to the Emirates, perhaps an MA in English Language Teaching ?

since I am married , would I have a private life ?
and what places would I work in , what kind of companies?

Please show a connection between your thread and Poland. Otherwise the bin awaits.

Well , since I am gonna enroll in the University of Lodz , and I am gonna use my MA to work in Poland in the end ! So I am asking if International marketing would guarantee me a good job in Poland

I am married too, and have a small child.

Marketing is a very demanding job (in terms of time), and will leave you with less time than what you'd like to spend with your family. However, how you balance your work/life is your choice at the end of the day.

As for kinds of companies, as a new grad, probably a small to medium private company.

There are a lot of Polish people in UAE. In fact, if you search for an apartment or a house to rent, you will notice that nearly 1 in 3 agents are Polish...
