I want to eventually teach college-level creative writing. I know that publishing is important to success in this field and that MFAs don't guarantee you a job, but what's the difference, careerwise, between the two degrees? <br> <br> I also know sometimes, if one is qualified enough or whatever, that jumping directly into a Phd program is possible. Is it advisable to do MFA, then Phd, with a C.D.? Or just go into the Phd or just do the MFA and publish, publish, publish? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.35402 Thu, 30 Mar 2006 13:16:07 -0800 Creativewriting MFA Phdcreative Destroid
