It is not required to have an MFA in writing as of right now, but from what I hear about graduate programs is that it will enhance how you look, how much you get paid in the long run, etc. A lot of jobs in writing pay squat, so if I were to get an MFA and work my way up, the MFA could potentially get me into a high position at a publishing business or a magazine business because I have an MFA and many people in publishing only have a BA. Really, the purpose of the MFA would be for the long term, but it’s not necessarily needed in my industry… I would just be a step ahead of most applicants. Also, I have to be honest, I feel like I hardly learned anything in my BA for the editing industry. I know it’s a learning process and you have to get experience, but I feel really really unprepared. The MFA would provide me with a more in depth teaching of it. Lastly, one of my long term goals is to teach at a university, if possible. I don’t plan on ever getting a PHD, but most colleges offer positions for writers to teach with an MFA, so that’s another goal of mine. Anyway, that’s why I’ve been thinking about an MFA. It seems like a Bachelors degree is not enough anymore and I’m nervous that an MFA will become a requirement eventually, but if I already have it, I don’t have to worry. Does that reasoning make sense?
