As someone who left a PhD five years in, I am definitely biased, but I’m gunna say any option besides that one *if* the goal is a job. If you really want to write a critical/theory book, absolutely go for it. The job market for English is abysmal though, and the funding situation is not great, even with SSHRC. I vote for counselling MA or better job.

This is genuinely very helpful thank u. I think it's just my ego that wants to prove I can get a PhD, cause I know there aren't any jobs :(
