<p>If you have the finances to indulge yourself, I say, go for it. If this is about your future, you have to get activated. What do your current profs have to say? That’s so key. But, with all the general questions you pose, I just have the reaction that you are just asking here, not pursuing in your real life.</p>
<p>Most of us on this thread have college kids. We know there are ups and downs. But, to the victor, belong the spoils. At a certain point, it’s not about “I want.” It’s about what you produce- whether it’s googling for info, finding mentors, achieving the gpa and research required, if you are driven to study history. Or, letting career services offer ideas. You can get a masters and get a hs teaching job or work in ancillary fields. But, you have to take the reins.</p>
