As if a lack of funding wasn’t bad enough, Chris Brady has to go and make me even more depressed.

In seriousness though, Chris draws attention to a few good points in his lengthy quotation. One follow-up question though–what about those of us who really, really don’t want to do anything else? I mean, those of us who know that getting a job isn’t guaranteed, who know that times may be tough, but at the same time really want to pursue a PhD in the humanities anyway?

Perhaps we’re just crazy.
