i agree wid u Zash ma english is very valuable. the fact is any body who studies literature get a great exposure abt all the fields of life. literature is the only discipline which covers every aspect of life. and as 4 as market value is concernd nw a days degree dosnt matter. i mean there are many mba who r nt able 2 get job according to their qualification.so grils must nd shud go 4 ma english. i knw personaly many csps who hv done ma english bt they r performing in different fields. so ma english not only 4 girls bt 4 all shud b encouraged.
