On Ask a Humanities Grad Student, Part One: Scotch and Lentils
@Ophelia after I read this comment I started to look up lifeguard training in my city, and then I realized that all of the lifeguard jobs would be out in the suburbs and I have no way to get out there :(

@BadWolf I seriously thought about putting "don't go to grad school" on my mortarboard but decided against it because my ceremony was in an auditorium and people wouldn't have really gotten the full effect of it.
(also congrats! I graduated with an MA in a social science field on Thursday and also don't have a job!)

@phenylalanine I have definitely considered walking around campus and doing the same thing to starry-eyed undergrads. And actually kind of did, when some of them would tell me that they were thinking about grad school.
I mean, hopefully I'll be able to get some kind of job where I'm actually using the degree in some way? But I graduated last Thursday and I'm very unemployed right now, so.

As a newly-minted graduate of an MA program (social science, not humanities, but close enough) I'd volunteer to do one of these, but my answer to every question would just be "DON'T GO TO GRAD SCHOOL"

@Alixana this comment thread is great, but I still want that post!
I've managed to get my cover letter draft speed down to ~one hr from like, three days. So that's a start.

@Sunny Schomaker@twitter whoops I meant to reply to you instead of @ellbeejay:
I would like to also volunteer myself for Ask a Social Science Grad Student! Except I'm (supposedly) getting my MA in three weeks, have really hated the entire experience, and am probably not going to pursue a PhD.
