Ohhhhhhhh, I've met a major I don't like. It's my current degree program.
Whoops.
Well, the average person changes careers seven times.... :)
And yet that average person doesn't get a different degree for each career change... (Although you know there has to be someone out there who's done that. That's kind of scary. And maybe a little awesome.)
I've never thought of as teaching credentials as the purpose of having an MFA. Someone -- either McAdams or Brkic -- told me once that the most useful thing about her MFA was that it gave her real time to write something publishable (which is more reliable as teaching cred anyway).
Hrm. I'd never thought of it that way. (Then again, I had nine months of unemployment in which I produced diddly squat. Maybe if I had deadlines...except everything I write to deadlines tends to suck...)
After hearing your stories of majoring in education, I'm actually starting to believe that publications are a better teaching cred than classes in pedagogy.
