Also, you can teach at the university level with an MFA, so maybe if you are interested in teaching at some point, you can teach something along the lines of 'creative non-fiction' and social justice. There's SO much that can be done in various fields of creative writing when it comes to putting social justice and environmental issues in the forefront. I think this could be a wonderful opportunity for you!

Good luck with whatever your decision may be! :)
