While it definitely takes research and planning to prepare for a career, we hope that this guide has demystified the process and given you some concrete ideas about where to start. Your investment in and passion for classics can pave your path to a fulfilling career. Above all, we encourage you to start thinking about life after college early, take advantage of the people and resources available at your undergraduate institution, make it a habit to talk to people who are doing jobs you’re interested in, and be honest with yourself about what you’re good at and what you really care about. Bonam fortunam!
