I am debating between getting an English Lit. PhD and a creative writing(Fiction) MFA. Any words of wisdom out there?

I am in the New York area and would like to go to school here.

I love writing, but see a lot of trouble getting a related job. I would also love to be an English prof., but fear the scholarship and studying works about works about works. I love the works themselves damnnit!

I am almost 28 and need to get my shit together. I'm studying like a madman for the GREs no matter what.

HELP!!!
