Velma Said:

is a degree in creative writing going to get me ANYWHERE?

We Answered:

These days, it doesn't really matter what your degree is in (unless you want to be a doctor or lawyer), but that you have one. If you don't know what you want to do for a career yet, study what you love, and you'll find a job later.

Am doing a Creative Writing Degree and i need to write commentary with my pieces?

We Answered:

When I did my senior portfolio my commentaries were simply a short paragraph explaining the background of the piece, where I got the idea, character inspirations, how I felt aobut the finished work, etc.

What can I do with Creative Writing degree?

We Answered:

Creativity is a big plus in the advertising industry. You could write commercials and come up with the concepts for them. Look up places like J. Walter Thompson or BBDO.

There are a lot of other companies that thrive on creativity and would hire someone like you. Explore companies like Apple, Pixar, Disney, Microsoft, Google, 3M, GE, Proctor & Gamble, eBay, Starbucks, jetBlue, Johnson & Johnson, and TiVo. And why not Yahoo! while we're at it.

Don't worry man. I'm pursuing the same degrees you are. It's highly competitive but I think you'd do great with this.

Aside from that, there's always the writer. You could be a fiction writer or write articles for a magazine. Maybe even be a freelance writer on the side of whatever else you're doing. Lots of options.

Good luck.
