Creative Writing jobs
Students who took up creative writing for masters, was it worth it and does it get you good paying jobs?

Creative writing can fit into many roles: editing, social media, article writing, short stories, marketing, and anywhere there is the written word!
Many students go on to follow great careers, it will be up to the student to find their own path. You can also progress into Academia, PhD &c.
Do I (Liz) know anyone who has gone into great-paying jobs? Oh yes, from worldwide published authors to magazine editors, social media/marketing, PhDs, teaching, nursing, finance, law and more! I also know a few professionals (doctors &c.) who have taken the course to communicate more effectively via the written word.
It's not just for novel writers!
