(My questioning was validated when my [white, male] advisor told me in so many words that if I wrote what I wanted to write -- i.e., genre fiction -- instead of what they taught I would end up working at McDonald's; I changed majors and never looked back.)
. . . and if you wrote litfic, you'd make pots of money???
I mean, genre fiction is not a safe way to avoid a job at McDonald's. But it's often safer than the litfic route.
