How about an actual writer?

>>9245249
yeah, beyond being a writer and teacher, what else can I do with a literature degree?

>>9245241
Write a better Mexican sitcom

>>9245253
Nothing

I got a BA in lit/philosophy and I freelance. Make about 60 - 100 bucks a day

>>9245618
freelance what?

>>9245623
Copy - it's very lucrative, i write mostly for a transportation website that rents out cars, vans, limos etc... Advertising/Marketing is also a good field, they're looking for creatives, which is making the major of advertising kind of irrelevant

I'm this guy - I liked going to college, but seriously DO NOT GO. The internet is the new resource, I am in so much debt. I wish I could slap my old self. If debt is involved, run away.

>>9245665
I completed the degree and managed to do it without getting into debt - I still really regret it.

Well that's not too bad - I'm currently living at home, broken up w/ my boyfriend b/c we snapped in our efficiency, and saving up for a new place - all the while, my mom is paying my loans and can barely afford it b/c my dad just got ass cancer.

If money problems can be avoided, it's best - the most unnecessary bullshit stems from money woes

What about being a little self-sufficient farmer?

Fuck, how did you find that job? I got a literature degree and I do some copywriting too, but I've never been able to find the bullseye of a well-paying job that's also consistent and long lived.

You can write marketing copy for marketing companies.

Literature as a studies is beyond stupid, you have to study something worthwhile and just read in your spare time.
If you haven't figured that out by now there is no way you will learn life.
