Help Me Plan My Life
We all know that graduating = sudden unemployment and that graduating with a degree in the Arts or Humanities = sudden unemployment with no obviously marketable skills (or at least with no obvious way to market one's skills). This caused me great distress last time I graduated, so to avoid such pain, I ask for your assistance. There is a poll to the right, please vote as to what you think I should do next year.
Options include
Rest assured that I will be pursuing a PhD while pursuing any of these options; it just seems prudent to find a way to pay for the internet, application fees, GRE fees, food, clothing, shelter, DVDs, books, music, etc. in the meantime.
Please advise soonest (You may vote in the comments as well.).
Thanks and love,
Katie E.

As someone who chose the "teach composition while I decide if I want to do the PhD" route, let's just say ... it's nice to be holding down a full-time job for the first time in my life, but teaching composition full-time when you're a lit major at heart ... sometimes it's not so fun. And there's So. Much. Grading.
Then again, it's good experience and I've learned to express my love of "literariness" and language when I teach about rhetoric and style, so it all kind of works out....
