Back in the day I made an abortive attempt at getting a History PhD (I’m still paying for the loans). That experience was not a total waste: my advisor gave me the best career advice I ever received (go to business or law school) and I learned how to do “real” research.
I also gained an appreciation for the insights of all disciplines, which brings me to a Scott Berkun interview (here) with the anthropologist Grant McCracken (blog here).
No real comment other than to say that the interview and the links therein are well worth a read.
