The problem with the MFA is that it can only go towards helping me get a job teaching writing and nothing else. The good thing about the MFA isw that it would force me to do some serious writing and I think I would be able to get published at least in lit. mags if I did so.
The best thing about the PhD is that if I could only make it part way through, I could then snag a MA with which I could teach and still be at the same spot as I would be after an MFA careerwise. And if I did make it through I would be able to teach at a college level and I think I'd really love that.
Choices, choices.

I really dont advise this and I have my Masters degree in Finance. Everyone talks about "well, if I just invest it, my returns will be higher." we all know that when in college, the only thing that gets invested in is the social life.
