    Currently I'm finishing my PhD thesis on models of continuity in the chronicles of medieval monastic orders. From january on I'll be working for a research project on transmission contexts of sermons of Meister Eckhart, probably for the next three years.

    I guess that makes me a scholar.

    I guess you'll be going to the university later on the Army's expenses, right? It's up to you then, once you hold a good, preferably excellent, Master in History a PhD is just one book away. There are lots of scholarships around you could apply for. But be warned, History is a very competitive field of work as there aren't many jobs around. But it's rewarding.

    Undergraduate student. This summer I've worked a variety of odd jobs, including that of tolltaker (night shift), camp counselor, and one time, the pig in a catering run.

    Oh, yes, I'm also a student and the above is just a side-job that cannot pay for everything.
    Not yet anyway.
