I am considering getting a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. I love writing courses and learning and practicing new techniques, and an MFA would nicely complement my English and Writing undergraduate degree.
I also think it could be fun to teach at a college level, which you can do with an MFA (though not quite the same as a PhD!)
Do any of you mylotters have your MFA? Where did you get it from? Did you enjoy your studies?

I thought about going for an MFA but after analyzing the potential return on the investment, I went for Chemistry. One thing I have found in the working world is that having a really strong writing skill (or foreign language skill) sets you apart in whatever job you have. It opens doors and adds value to what you bring to the table. If I were to do it again, I still would have chosen Chemistry, but might have supplemented it with a program in technical writing.
