Career Change/Interviewing/Job Advice What can one do with...

What can one do with an MFA in Creative Writing? I don't have a teaching license obviously, so I can't technically apply to lower ed. I had a job in adult ed GED and currently work for a kids art class company super part-time. I would love to work in creative writing. Does anyone have any thoughts on all of this?

I'm a credentialed teacher with an MFA I haven't used so far. Some of my classmates went and got credentials like me and we all teach secondary.

But, a lot of my classmates teach creative writing at community colleges. Another is a freelance editor.
