Why does one need a degree in creative writing? Why can't one just creatively write? It seems ludicrous to have to have a degree for conformation of ones skill. Creativity can't really be taught. Either people have it or don't.

  • Because employers dig qualifications. Besides, I may be arrogant, but not enough to believe a degree wouldn't teach me more in the field.

  • [quote]Because employers dig qualifications.[/quote] A piece of paper doesn't represent skill tho. I know what you're saying tho.

Self taught people tend to be more successful than those run through a machine of conformity.

  • [quote]Self taught people tend to be more successful than those run through a machine of conformity.[/quote] I suspect the famous few are in the tiny minority. Besides, I don't have the initiative to be a self-made success. Have I self-published? Yes. But my fanbase is tiny and I've no idea how to increase it without serious legwork and investment of time and money.
