hey,
i've decided i'd like to go to grad school for history. i've been looking into some programs and noticed that there is a foreign language requirement (in some cases more than one). i plan on studying either ancient rome/greece or medieval europe.

does anyone have and advice/knowledge about:

a) what would be a good language to learn? (i've been debating between latin, french and german)

b) besides teaching or working in a museum (which are my two interests) what other options are there for someone with a masters or phd in history? (i'd like to know what else is out there)

c) good scholoship websites?

d) studying abroad? any info on doing a masters/phd in england... how is it different, will that be beneficial or harmful to me looking long term at job prospects in the states? what about summer programs? anything else?

e) what is the job market like for a history masters/phd's at the moment? any idea on the future?

f) how important is the school i go to? for instance, i realize that the difference between going to harvard/yale and arizona state is probably pretty big, but if my thesis and work is excellent, will it really make much of a difference? short term? long term?

g) anything else i should know/think about?

i've searched on the 'net and have found some stuff, not others. not really sure what i'm looking for at the moment.
