Savage Minds interviewed Sarah Kendzior (who wrote about the U.N.'s unpaid internship the other week) about her experience in graduate school while earning a Ph.D. in cultural anthropology. It's very good.

This summer, I lived with a revolving cast of roommates, one of whom was going to go to law school in September. One night, my roommate mentioned that he was going to go through law school so he could "meet the right people," and then he said he'd apply to med school because that was his real passion. I may have choked a bit when he said that. I was in college for seven years because I did a master's program in English literature, followed by a Master of Library and Information Studies.
