Who here undergrad/grad/Phd for history or humanities?
Personally love religious studies and philosophy of science but chose money instead of passion. Did I make a mistake?

Meh. Probably not. Did your parents pay for college?
No. Did a double major, Religious Studies and Medieval and Renaissance Studies, graduated magna cum laude, presented undergrad papers at conferences and represented by university at a national congress of humanities. Have not been able to move forward in the field, have not been able to get into Master's programs, contemplating suicide but the last one is not on my degree.
Stay out, do something worthwhile, give back to society, lurk /his/ and read.

Yup but not any schooling after, which by the way , one semester cost more than my undergrad.

Really no master's progams? Did you try a private/christian university or anything? Seems like you might even be able to jump to doctorate with that CV.

My dad got sick, so I took a couple years off to help him. Then trying to get back in, both with work and schooling, it's, "Why is there this gap in your resume? Two missing years doesn't look good, especially because you listened to guidance councillors and did extra schoolwork instead of getting a real job in the summers."
Doesn't help that I'm Canadian and shit at conversational French. If I really worked it, I might find a place, but talking to people I know who kept going it's a hell of a slog to make it anywhere near teaching at the university level, which is where I want to be ideally.

you should try some private US schools in the midwest. They take more people to fill their grad schools and have less applications because nobody knows about them.

Appreciate the advice. If I grow a third kidney, I'll sell all three and try it.
Not trying to be sarcastic, I appreciate it. It just eats away at me that my degree is getting stale-dated, and I ruined my credit rating and savings over those two years being stubborn and unwise, so I'm laying in my own bed.
