I have an MFA in Creative Writing... HAHAHAHAHA, wasn't that smart? Saying "English" is easier.

I did teach at a community college and a university for a while, which is why I got the MFA anyhow, and uhh... I hated it. I wanted to get a flat tire every day on my way to campus. If I could hang out and talk about writing and books with these kids/and adults all day, I'd totally have kept at it, but it required a lot more not-fun writing and grading than I was willing to put myself through.

I turk so I can stay home and finish the next Great American Novel, at which point I'm going to move up to Maine and rub elbows with Stephen King at the grocery store.

Good on you for going back, though. I had plans to get my PhD, but thankfully changed my mind.

So many similarities. I totally want an MFA! The professional writing will hopefully help me get to where I can pay for one one day, a liiittle bit faster than turking will.

Had long, extensive, elaborate daydreams about being an English professor in high school - thank god for the actual professors I met in (of all things) AOL chatrooms back in the day. I was able to ask them a bunch of questions about what it was like, and thus to realize teaching wasn't really for me.

I turk because [insert angry rant about the job market and about being over 35 and female here] I would love to move to Maine - I lived in Massachusetts years ago and have missed New England ever since - but for various reasons it isn't looking like that's going to be likely any time soon. Wave at Stephen King for me once you get there, eh?

I will!! MFA is useless. Write a book and get it published, get a Masters in whatever and you can teach Creative Writing anyplace. Or get the MFA. Plenty of low-residency schools around (great schools, too!) that are in the ~$14k range.

Professorship is great, I'm sure, if you stick it out. Just wasn't for me. Some of my friends who have made it out of Adjunct hell are happy, some are miserable. I think it all depends.

Cheers for kindred spirits, though! I'll invite you up to the lavish cabin I'll live in one day when Stephen and I are just hanging around drinking coffees and talking about Moose.

I have a number of qualities that would make me an awful teacher, never mind professor. I'm to this day grateful that I was able to realize that and, you know, not become a teacher before I invested any serious money or time in learning how.

I'm sure circumstances would make a huge difference in whether professoring would work out well for people or not. I hope more of your professor friends who aren't happy now can find their way there.

And that sounds wonderful Am totally looking forward to the visit, lol.
