a few concerns of mine

I think that as you take a year or two to work, take acting classes, and audition for plays in your local area you will be more competitive.

A MFA is a professional training degree, so it is important that you have a resume that reflects your seriousness about pursuing a career as a theatre artist.

But, I think you are getting ahead of yourself. First focus on your plan of action for this year. Get a job to pay the bills, find a good studio where you can take classes, maybe even begin to audition for productions in your community. An MFA degree is a huge commitment of time, energy, and (often) money. Spend this year confirming that acting is really what you would like to pursue in the long term.

Best of luck!
