Package is waiting for me at home! I get an insane amount of joy from recieve packages, so much better than buying them in store. I don't know why. Maybe it's the anticipation?

I'd make a complaint about it being 10 below with windchill here in Kentucky, but I just realized that I'm also wearing short sleeves so that sort of fell flat.

Fuck this weather. My heat sucks and it is under 50 in my house.

The one nice thing about cold weather is that you can just keep layering; in hot weather you eventually have to stop taking things off unless you want to flense yourself.

Municipal Waste made/is making me happy today.

Guessing by the capitalization, it's a name.

Unless you tend to look at some gunk and exclaim 'Heeeeey, sewage!' happily for some reason.
Boy, I sure do love sewage!

This creative writing class is a dream come true. There's even an addendum in the syllabus forbidding turning in fan fiction for the writing assignments.

Started playing Transistor. The game is gorgeous, the music is wonderful, and the voice acting is top-notch. The story so far seems... well, it's difficult to put my finger on, but it feels somehow disjointed. As though there's some abstract layer of understanding the developers had and forgot the player wouldn't. Likewise the mechanics, although they (seem to be) easy enough to puzzle out. But what's good is fucking amazing. I really like _n C_rcl_s for some reason.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

As I'm considering doing such a course (in fact, would love to do one) do they give any idea as to what jobs/professions it may lead into?

None. I mean, it might be useful to get experience peer-editing the absolute shit you'll have to deal with if you're working towards becoming an editor, but a creative writing class is often the last thing you need if you're trying to become a published author. Unless the professor is excellent and the conditions are perfect, you're often better off (ironically enough) writing and distributing fan- or original fiction online in places where you'll get honest and constructive feedback if you're looking to improve your skills as a writer.

So, if I want a job...don't do the course? Surely it's as good as a normal English degree?

I meant in terms of getting a job related to your subject. If you want to get published as a fiction writer, you don't need a degree to do it (and getting a degree is both more expensive and not really better than other options). Taking a creative writing course (as in, a single class) isn't really anything one way or another (though it can be annoying for various reasons). As far as specialization in English goes, you're setting up your degree path in such a way that you're pretty much either going to be teaching or working in an unrelated field.

Specializing in creative writing doesn't make sense unless you want to spend your life writing about how to teach it and actually teaching it. Specializing in some other aspect of English lit at least means that you get to do your research and writing on things that interest you, rather than teaching methods. Unless you genuinely enjoy figuring out how to teach the authors of the 90% of the shit work in the world how to write better (or more likely, failing to teach the same).

That's how it is with all soft academia: you're pretty much locked into a career path of publishing your research and trying to get tenured at a half-decent university, so picking a specialization which is in demand and personally interesting is the way to go (aka not medieval lit. in this example). But yes, in general any soft field is not good for getting a job unless you want to be a professor or you can figure out a creative solution -- this coming from a Liberal Arts major who spend four years taking English lit, political science, and history classes, and managed to parlay that into entry in a Masters program which is at best vaguely related and both applicable to various work sectors and doctoral work.

tl;dr: If you want a job, get a degree in some programming or engineering field, or go to a trade school and spend less to get entry-level pay better than damn near any university degree.
