  1. I actually could use some advice here. I'm definitely 35+, finishing my MA this May. I applied for 5 Ph.D. programs. 1 rejection. Three other programs already started accepting people. So I'm freaking out. If I don't get anything this year, will it be worth it to finish up some papers, presentiong some more conference talks, and then try again next year? But time is not on my side. Even if I get into a phd eventually, who would want to hire some in their 40's already? If decide to join the job-hunting club, what kind of job can I find with a MA in literature and a dated PhD in physics (~2003)?
  2. I'm just glad that i'm not the only one freaking out because of no news.
  3. I'm in the same boat. If I do not hear anything by the end of Feb, I'll start looking for jobs. I've got an MA in cmlit, I've presented (or going to present) @ MLA, ACLA. I've got invited book reviews and one of my article is being reviewed. If these cannot get me into any PhD, nothing will. Going to more conferences or publishing more won't help. And time is not on my side. So to hell with grad school. I have tried. and it didn't work out. and I need to get on wiht my life.
