Hey /lit/.

I'm looking to enter college within a year or so (I'm a few years late in continuing my education.) I'm planning on entering my local college to obtain my Diploma in Writing and Publishing.

I've heard on /r9k/, /lit/, /adv/ etc that those who enter their education for writing walk away empty handed. How much of that statement is true? I am extremely stressed out about commuting myself to this course and my sorry lack of funds doesn't help matters.

I've always enjoyed writing and since childhood I have maintained that my future would be spent with it as the centre of my life.

I'd greatly appreciate any advice or comments /lit/ has on that diploma or it's application into the work force / continuing educations.

This is the link to the full course description:

Thank you in advance.

I am in my Freshman year, planning on going until I get my PhD in English. What am I going to do with that? I don't know, but I don't care because that's all I can see myself doing anyway.

That seems to mirror my attitude as well.

One bump before I leave for work (where I'll check it as soon I start 'paperwork')
