<p>Thanks guys!</p>
<p>Yes I’ve heard it is a rough market for history professors, which is what I’d like to be, but since I’m also in student housing that would be my fall back. Those positions have some great benefits (like room and board, plus not a bad paycheck when you get to the professional level).</p>
<p>I definitely agree that going straight to the PhD programs is the way to go. I was more or less just worried that since I’m at such a small/new school that I might be looked down upon.</p>
