You are utterly full of the purest kind of bullshit imaginable, sir. Even the most brilliant writers in history had periods where they struggled with basic mechanics, structure and imagery for ages before they actually got the results they wanted.

Basically, you're the hack if you think you can shit out a perfect turd every first draft. Only someone with a complete lack of insight and a blinding level of arrogance could think something so ludicrous.

Is a creative writing degree, or for that matter, any form of an english degree worth it?

I can quite easily major in something economically viable like business/economics, computer science, engineering, or a number of "hard" sciences. I would like to be guarenteed a job, but I really would like to study English, creative writing specifically.

Basically, are English degrees really just $40,000 pieces of paper that no one honestly cares about?
