Question by Barrett!!!: Career path for English teaching?
Alright, I am a college junior (just got to the status) and I am majoring in English. I have around 57-66 hours left to complete, and then I want to go to graduate school for a M.A. and then eventually a Ph.D. in creative writing (So I can become a comp/rhet/lit teacher). The University I am attending is very small (approx 4750 students) and I would like to stay here for my M.A. before I apply at the other school once I am finished.
Any ideas on a route for a job or whatnot? I don?t want to become certified because here in the great state of Texas (sarcasm) it would atleast take me 80 hours to get certified to teach English.
So, I need some ideas on what to do POST-B.A.

You want to teach college English? You don?t need a certification for that. Usually you just need 18 hours towards your Master?s in the subject you want to teach. Is there a way you can get a teaching assistantship? That?s what I did. Then I got my M.A. and became an editor, but now I?m back in school working on my PhD. I will tell you one thing, though: I recommend a PhD geared more towards composition because you will be much more marketable. You can always do some creative witing stuff, but I would recommend focusing more on something that will land you a job once you get out of school.
