[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have to caution you against college level teaching with an MFA. Everyone with an MFA has THE SAME IDEA. The jobs are scarce, part time, or worse. It's a bit of a pyramid scheme, IMO. (full disclosure: my mom holds an MFA and teaches at a university. It's been a long hard road, and she only recently got benefits. She's 68. I have a BFA, and did other things with it, mostly because watching my mom struggle like this to do what she loves really pisses me off.) What is your MFA in? There are other things you can do for a living, and sometimes just the fact that you have a masters is more important than what it's in. Graphic design, web design, all sorts of other things.
