This is true, in no small part because there is now in most fields no sure path to success even for very talented graduate students. Be humane while they are students, because they may never get the chance to be professors.https://twitter.com/ericarbailey/status/1455600981228535820 …

So you have to ask 1) is it required to do a job you want to do and have a reasonable of chance of being able to do (probably not)? or 2) are you just wealthy and doing it for the joy of becoming an expert in something? If both (1) and (2) are 'no' then 'no.'
For the long version, I wrote about this question here:https://acoup.blog/2021/10/01/collections-so-you-want-to-go-to-grad-school-in-the-academic-humanities/ …

I'll give this a read over, thank you. I'm currently in the last year of my masters (in history) and I'm still trying to figure out if a PhD is viable. My area of focus, history of firearms, isn't a huge field so it's been tough to find an advisor I could research that under.

great article, as someone who was studying at university to be a historian but ended up droping out because I realized that academia life is not for me, better sooner than later! reading all that reaffirms my decision
