Don't let these plebs get to you OP. Ishiguro got a ba in lit and a masters in creative writing and he won a nobel. These guys are just full of resentment

You guys are forming an online presence right? The days of nobodies getting published is over
Well...I was a nobody and got published.
Though, I'm still a nobody, however.
Post your book
I don't think that's as encouraging as you think it sounds.
>Don't worry, OP. All you have to do is write something worthy of a Nobel to pay off your debts.
As much as I think education for education's sake is a worthwhile pursuit, I do have to wonder what OP thinks he will gain from another degree. As a general rule of thumb, you should never pay for a PhD. If you're not even getting a stipend you're probably not PhD-calibre and you're just another revenue stream for the university.
