is a Publishing Masters worth it?
i’m currently working 2 jobs to save enough money to move out my parent’s house and go to school next year, but is it even worth it? i’ve been seeing linkedin post after post about how a masters isn’t even helpful.
i just graduated summa cum laude two months ago, went to a performing arts school for creative writing, have been published since i was 13, have editor & editor in chief experience from my university and outside publications.
i’ve been applying to publishing internships & jobs literally everywhere with no luck. i kept telling myself it’s fine because in 2027, i’ll go get my masters and that will -this feels so naive to type- secure me a job in the field.
(the program i’m currently accepted in is uclan publishing masters, but i’m willing to apply elsewhere)
