Does anyone know of any writers with a business degree?

I'm a creative writer, and I have considered going for an English degree. However, I know that English isn't the most marketable degree. I am actually closer to a business degree with the help of many courses I've taken through the military, and I know that's a more marketable degree, so I'm leaning toward getting that busimness degree.

Basically, I'm wondering if going for the Business degree would be a wise decision. I know the English degree would help my writing, but I can still write on the side regardless of what degree I get. I want to also be able to have a marketable degree because I can't exactly count on creative writing as a stable form of income. It would ease my mind a bit if I knew of people that achieved their business degree, and still remained creative.

Any thoughts or info would be appreciated.

A business degree could be used to enter the technical writing field. Technical writers are in high demand and usually well paid for their work. You could then do creative writing in your off hours.

    I just glanced through 10 text books on Economics used in Commerce and Finance degree courses. Every author had a BUSINESS degree, one was a C.A., two had Phd's in Business.

    You could go for your business degree and take journalism courses to become a business journalist. May not be the most creative kind of writing, but it's a profession that pays pretty well.
