I really appreciate this thread, as well as the last one. The comments you made about teaching lit courses were quite helpful...and I'll probably use that debate article for my next 101 course if you don't mind.

I'm currently in an MFA program (fiction) and am working on an MA in English simultaneously. This means I'm teaching comp and occasionally spazzing out about the job market and researching PhD / IT options until my heart rate returns to normal. I have no false expectations about the number of unemployed MFA holders and realize that if I want to move beyond the community college/comp level, I'll probably need to do a PhD...so I'll have some questions for you the next time I visit higheredjobs.

@Brainworm - I thought this thread had hit its peak with the modern/postmodern discussion, but then you went after Pope and Dryden. Keep it up!

@Defenestration - I don't have plat...email me at Kappadelek at aol for MFA chatter...its not one of the monster programs though.
