​Cassandra-like voices of the damned
Abandon hope all ye who enter here. This is a truly terrible career move. You are going to give everything up and get nothing in return. No one reads, nor cares, what you write. Your students are stupid. You are poor by the standards of other academics. This field is only for those with rich husbands or fathers. You are doomed to nothingness. Your work product is worse than useless. Your students don't care about anything. You will live in a city you hate. You will forget what it is like to be happy. You will drag your spouse and children down with you. You will sink into obscurity. You will be basically irrelevant to the larger direction of society, and even to the activities of those, such as artists, museumgoers, and art lovers, who might be expected to give two cents about your endeavors. Really, you might as well give up now. Majoring in the humanities was a big mistake. Big, big mistake. You should have majored in computer science, economics or engineering. Why were you such a fool? Unfortunately, by the time you've reached this point, it's way too late. You're well on the way to middle age, with less financial or social status than a high-school principal. You are a LOSER. L O S E R. Get used to it. L O S E R. Forget about it.
