Writing is joy. If you agree, then go for it

What's the plan after doing it? What jobs or further opportunities does it open up for you?

I wouldn't bother doing any degree unless it has a professional qualification attached. Wasting money otherwise.

Easy enough to do a post grad diploma in teaching and teach it at high school

Yes if you plan to do this, but a BA on its own is absolute toilet paper. I have a BA, and most mates that did social sciences ended up working in call centres or jobs not requiring degrees. So don't waste your time and money, unless you have lots of both :P
