I know exactly where you're coming from. My MA supervisor spent a great deal of time during my degree telling me about the probability (or lack thereof) of my future employment in the field. Of course, her husband was also trained as a medievalist, never found a job, and ended up as a lawyer, so I suspect some personal bitterness from her.

That said, I'm still going on to my PhD. I can't let [livejournal.com profile] forthright be more educated than me! ;)

Oh, and I'm also going to Kalamazoo this year. Get to present a paper and everything. *hopes plan doesn't crash due to voodoo curses of aspiring medievalists*

Since [livejournal.com profile] forthright recommended me to have a look at your journal, I actually did know you were giving a Kalamazoo paper and even looked it up first thing when the program (finally!) arrived on Friday. You're in the session right after mine.

My advisor has actually been really upbeat about my career prospects - he was handing me suggestions of places to apply as of last fall, when I even now not ready to consider applying anywhere yet. Still, I've heard enough worry about the job market in news sources that I'm taking his optimism with a grain of salt. We'll see how it works out.
