Finished my phD in History, and now I'm basically a NEET for the time being. How's everyone going? Haven't active;y used this site for a while, and it's cool to see the same familiar faces are still here. So, I'd like to ask everyone: on what subjects do you consider yourself most knowledgeable in, and is there anything about it that you think is the most interesting to know?
It depends is always an unsatisfying answer IMO, so I will try to force myself to take a stance here and say that it was in general too much of a slog to be anything I can in good conscience recommend to anyone. There was a lot of academic grifting, and in general, I preferred authoring journal articles every now and then on specific topics than working on my dissertation, which I wrote on French, Italian, and Soviet cruiser operations during the Second World War.
