So as everyone knows, the other day in class we had the three speakers discussing the possibilities of a future in writing. Since I am not just a writing arts major, (I’m elementary ed., writing arts) it didn’t pertain to me, but it was still just as interesting. I almost feel bad for students in high school that come to college wanting to major in just creative writing, thinking that they will write one book and be well off. Like all the speakers said, creative writing isn’t a career path. You have to have another goal, such as teaching writing at a college level, or working for a magazine. This way, you can work on your novels or other writings on the side, and you will still be successful. I am glad that I chose writing arts as my coordinate major with elementary education because it is definitely the best one for education. Writing is one of the most important things to learn about, no matter what age you are.
