I was recently admitted to a funded MA program at a state school.
For those who have their MA/PhD or are currently in a program, would you say your degree has helped you find a stable career you enjoy or helped you advance to a PhD?
I love history and I am excited at the prospect of doing more research and being a student after getting my BA in '18, but I am wary of the prospects. I am currently employed with a decent wage, though I worry about financial stability in the current climate. I feel like I am missing out on a valuable experience if I don't enroll, but I am concerned about my prospects afterwards.
Anyone with a History MA/PhD, would you be able to speak to the experience and outcomes?
