One of my favorite blogs is acoup.blog: “A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry.” The author critiques modern pop culture portrayals of history and warfare, and does so in an entertaining and informative way. He’s a history professor—one of those humanities folks.

Your core premise, though; that I agree with. There aren’t many jobs in the humanities. But that misses my point, which is that humanities have value beyond the financial.
