i've been writing stuff for over 10 years now, with two novels that i'm writing now. i specialize in action/adventure stuff, mostly war. Most of my work is dismal with anti-corruption tones, and a lot of my stuff is comparable in timbre to stuff like The Road. I'm in my 2nd year of junior college, just getting my pre-req's out of the way. I plan to attend a 4 year liberal arts school for 1 or 2 years to get my resume up a little bit more, then i plan to attend Eckerd Arts school in Florida. I plan to pursue a Creative Writing major, maybe another degree on the side. What job opportunities are available to someone with a Creative Writing Bachelor's degree? I've always been interested in doing movie scripts and things like that, but that industry is a sinking ship. It was dead the day that someone figured out how to fileshare. What careers are available in the video game industry for people with such degrees?

Not much, unless you can also program and/or do graphics. And if you're going to take the position that the Internet makes it impossible to control the distribution of creative works, then you can pretty much forget about making a living off of any type of writing. You need to decide whether you're willing to work hard enough at your craft to have the clout that people will pay for your stuff (and so you can go after the violators), or look for other jobs where being able to communicate well is important and do creative writing on the side. << GO BACK to questions
