Uh no

Wow.

What about education for the sake of education?

Calling it "vanity" to do an MA you are passionately interested in is extremely fucked up.

>What about education for the sake of education?

A lot of the people who do it aren't actually passionate about the subject. They're passionate about looking passionate.

Look, I LOVE education for the sake of education. Love love love it. An English MA is a big investment of time that might be best spent elsewhere UNLESS there's something concrete you want to do with it. Do you want to teach English? Get into editing or publishing? Then an English MA is a great idea! Make sure you pick a good program. Are you a good writer? Go ahead and get that MFA. Do you just really like reading? Then just keep reading.

All this goes out the window if you want to do a part-time program while also getting your real life started, that's always cool.
