Graduate School Blues gives the reader and potential master's or doctoral level student a systematic and comprehensive view of the task ahead for anyone in search of that Holy Grail at the end of the M.A. of Ph.D. program. At times, with a tongue in cheek approach, Dr. Di Lella shows readers what life is in a masters and graduate program in a typical Humanities program in the United States. Along with testimonials from over thirty M.A. and Ph.D. holders who went on to live their dreams in higher academics, Joseph brings you along in a personal way so you can determine whether the price of an advanced degree is worth the time or trouble.
