This week on the blog: Should you go to graduate school - more specifically, should you go to graduate school in one of the academic (rather than professional) disciplines of the humanities? I love the humanities, but I'm sorry to say the answer is no.https://acoup.blog/2021/10/01/collections-so-you-want-to-go-to-grad-school-in-the-academic-humanities/ …

Well said. Whenever someone asks me this, I always ask them if they are ok with a different end point: gov't work, PME, other teaching destinations, consulting, museums, etc. I tell them that with a book and 3 peer reviewed articles I'm still from from a shoe-in for a TT job.
