Description: The Real Guide is the ultimate insider's map of the intellectual issues and practical choices that await you in graduate school. Based on hundreds of interviews with professors, graduate students, and administrators, The Real Guide includes tips on getting in and paying your way; the low-down on twenty-three disciplines in the humanities and social sciences; vital analysis of departments: everything you need to know about what to study, where to go (and why), and what to expect once you're in; a window on the academic profession and the state of the current academic job market, discipline by discipline; and jobtracks from Lingua Franca's exclusive database of who got hired and where they trained.
