what sort of job are you going to get with a degree in "theory", which, one might add, isn't a discipline, nor useful

this is going to cost society like a million dollars and all we'll get out of it is that you'll be able to not-so-subtly shame people at parties if they mispronounce theorists names wrong. choose Life. choose a job. choose a career. choose a family.

if you're looking to get supported for theory, it's going to be competitive no matter where you apply. i'm sure being a brit is going to give you advantage at some anglophile english departments, that and the fact that you've been published are all good. you should still be applying to at least 8 or more graduate departments, and try to get in touch with the professors where you're applying to. that said, if all you care about is cocaine and warm weather, stick to california and florida (not that florida has much in the way of strong academics)

a humanities phd certifies you to teach an extension of high school, for which there are no jobs, and only requires you to read a few hundred books for reasons of pretension and nostalgia. but typing that i've come around to your position. you should move to north carolina. you can start a campus club dedicated to promoting smoking culture and you'll get huge money from the cig companies and you'll probably get a few cartons at least for yourself.

i have to tinker with my resume this week and i thought "i wonder if i should put i have a double major in economics and history or just put economics" and then i was like "hmm maybe they'll like history on there because it shows i can write essays". but like let's be serious people, everyone who didn't fail out of high school in north america probably considers themselves an essayist deep down. you don't write "i write for several publications" on your resume for the same reason you don't write "i breathe a mixture including oxygen"

enclose an extra $50 with your application and they let you take a picture with milton friedman's embalmed corpse

(you do have to kiss his hand first, but it's really not that bad, you can close your eyes and just do it real quick)
