nanowrimo_lj | Master's Degree in Writing?

Hello all!

This is unrelated to NaNo, but very much related to writing. And since we're all writers here, it seemed the best place to ask! Also, the forums on the nano site are down, so that wasn't an option.

I'm looking very much into getting a Master's Degree in Writing, specifically looking at schools in England (I live in the states). Has anyone else gotten a degree like this? If so, what's your advice? What do you do now that you have it? Is it worth getting, or will it really just be me in the same job-less position with a bigger pile of school loans to pay off?

Another degree I'm looking at is in Publishing Studies--do you think that would be more worthwhile for me?

If anyone knows about particular schools in England, too, I'm looking at Kingston University, Univ. of Manchester, and Univ. of Liverpool (Science Studies MA, which sounds just too cool to not apply for).

Thank you!
