[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Advice about classics: https://classics.artsci.wustl.edu/thinking-graduate-school-classics Don't forget this: "The job market for university professors of Classics is exceedingly tight. There is a good possibility that you will never obtain a permanent position teaching Classics at a college or university, even if you successfully complete a PhD in Classics in a first-rate program."[/quote] +1 I have nothing against the academic world--I'm married to a professor, and I think people who have a passion for the work AND are good teachers are integral to the college education of our young people--but this is spot-on. Positions for classics professors are incredibly hard to find. My SIL is absolutely brilliant and well-rounded, and is pursuing her Ph.D. in Classics at a top-level Ivy League university. But even she is nervous about her prospects. [/quote]
