Congratulations on finishing your thesis! Going back to grad school after
several years off can be hard; I did that with a Ph.D. in Renaissance
Literature--never finished it. So, strike while the iron is hot, while you
are
current on scholarship, trends, and resources--please go on further to get
your Ph.D. now. As for whether to do costume history or museum studies,
try to determine whether your committee knows something you don't--for
example, the projected demand for costume history jobs or museum jobs in the
years 2012 & beyond (likely the time you'll finish your Ph.D.) Or, are they
pushing you towards costume history because they think you'd be more likely
to excel there instead of museum work?
Now, while the economy's so bad, being in a grad school can be a great
place to be. Best of luck!
