Spotted on the Columbia campus recently: James Franco. He is participating in the school’s acclaimed MFA program for creative writing.
You’re probably asking yourself: why would James Franco or anyone else want a Master’s degree in writing? Well, some people, like Franco, go to better their writing and education because they can. But other areas are opened up once you achieve higher level education in the writing sector. You can teach writing or English, you can become a professor, work in publishing, hone in on your writing skills and find the connections via your professors to become published, etc.
Don’t be so hard on you writer friends. They’re doing a great thing!
