    In thinking about the journey "from classics to career," it is helpful to remember that classicists are also humanists. Many of the skills that we prize in classics are also cultivated in other humanities disciplines, and so career advice and employment statistics for the humanities often apply quite readily to us. The links on this page provide samples of both practical advice and large-scale documentation.
