[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get your MFA. it's a great two years to figure it out. You will meet other people you and you won't want to do it when you're older. It's a better environment for younger people anyway. Most people on mine were 21-28.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you for responding! I'm happy to hear from someone who has first-hand experience with an MFA. Did you feel like it was an extension of college/delaying adulthood until after grad school? Did you find that getting an MFA helped with job opportunities? Or not really? [/quote]

I'm the one saying not to get it. I have one. It never helped with job opportunities. I could not get a job without a published book. Even then, you need a published book that has won awards or, better yet, more than one published book.

Look at the bios of professors. I see some with just three books despite teaching at a uni for 20 years. Meanwhile, the new hires ALREADY have three books.

If you are fine with earning close to no money for two years, go for the MFA. You can learn the same on your own, and the MFA is not needed for anything. [/quote]
