Like I was thinking of getting a creative writing PhD, perhaps. But I need money first.

Yeah in science they pay you to get the PhD and waive tuition, but you’ve gotta pay for a masters if you go that route so there’s a clear advantage if you can get accepted for PhD over masters. Like I said, I’m less knowledgeable in how it works for your field but a masters will get you in most doors. A PhD will actually close most doors aside from being a professor which is nearly impossible due to extreme competition for limited positions.
