Any gradfags here or aspiring PH.ags?
Currently working on my grad studies, I'll be done in 2019 with everything, still debating on a Ph D though.
I feel as though this board has some young individuals who actually know a decent amount, itd be great to see the state of this board improve more as we get more of us actually perusing history degrees
Shut the fuck up, nerd.
I'm in my third year of college now. Although, I'm not pursuing a History degree.
Cheers, my fellow intellectual

I am in my fourth year of college about to graduate. Initially I was going for a history BA but I changed my mind because a history BA is fucking useless. Right now I'm set to get an Economics BA with a minor in History as a consolation prize for all those history classes I already took.
I dropped out of highschool.

Stop boasting about how rich you are cunt.
Not a lot of people study early China so I'm better off in terms of opportunity than the other negros.

Apprenticeships aren't given to 40 year olds. Nobody wants a 40 year old with a white card and no tickets.
Whose fault is that then ya dim cunt.
Professor Murray Wells, John Dawkins and the communist leadership of the metal trades in the 1970s, duh.

Still working on my History degree at UTA, two more years!!!
1st year philosophy & sociology. I'm doing great at the moment.
Doing my last year of university.
I have all the degrees and am employed
Last year of a History/Law double bachelor. Also snagged a few basic diplomas (languages, computer proficiency) on the way. Debating what to do after that. History master is what appeals to me the most, Law is what appeals to my family the most, obviously.
Maybe I should have kept History a hobby.

High school grad
Emptied my college fund cause my mom needed surgery and was uninsured. Lived neet life for a while. Now working and saving up to go to college with as little debt as possible.
I gots me a GED
MA in philology (look it up), focusing on linguistics.
I have a permanent teaching job in a uni (although I don't count as "academic staff" and don't get paid as such), but it still pays pretty decent, so I should be thankful. I like parts of the job, and there are good days/good classes, but on the whole it's a little boring and not very challenging.
I blame the lazy, driftless, entitled attitude of the current crop of youngins (I'm only 33 myself), combined with a paranoia of being sued by the uni admin (who are more likely to be HR hacks, rather than anyone with teaching experience). It combines to create a system of know-nothings utterly unprepared for the real world who meanwhile can't tap their fingers fast enough for us to stop making it so difficult (lol) for them to get their degree already.
That doesn't speak to everyone, but a majority (60-70%?) of my students. It's hard for myself to maintain an attitude and atmosphere of encouragement and hard-work.
