Good luck with your degree,Count.![]()

For Calvin and TosaInu, in a better place together, modding TW without the hassle of hardcoded limits. We miss you.
Yes good luck. I don't like to discourage you but you had better be good at history if you want to make a career out of it. One of my lecturers, who had studied in the UK, was pretty frank about it- it is great to research and/or teach something that fascinates you but due to the dearth of jobs in the field (especially in Australia) you won't get one unless you are really outstanding.

Thanks guys
Well fortunately, I am going to the most prestigious arts-related University in Australia (Sydney), which should hopefully give me a leg-up. I'll probably end up teaching or something, but I remain optimistic about a professorship (Pending completion of a PhD of course...).
Rest in Peace TosaInu, the Org will be your legacy

I have a Magister Artium (roughly equivalent to todays Master, I think) in Medieval History, currently working on my doctoral thesis (finishing it with Dr. phil., which should be roughly equivalent to PhD). I was lucky to get a 3-years-scholarship for this. What comes after this, I don't know. In order to teach properly, I would have to take a second qualification (called "Habilitation", I think only Germany has this, it's another 6 yrs.). I'm not sure about taking this. I'll try to take a route into museums or publishing industries maybe.
I took AP European History in High School earlier this year. Otherwise, most of my knowledge is gained from books or from other people.
BA in History with Honors, but nothing beyond that. I've contemplated a PhD before, but the time commitment is simply absurd for someone who has to work full time. I'll stick with my armchair history education, rather than another 5-7 years of schooling.
PhD is the abbreviation for Doctor of Philosophy.Originally Posted by I of the Storm
