I think one of the reasons I'm hesitant to consider Comp Lit is that I'm not really a lit-analysis person. Which is why the German Studies PhD is also kind of ehhh, because there's such a literary focus. I kind of want to do non-literary culture like history and sociology, or just get a credential to teach adults. (Private schools, community colleges, whatever.) I wish I were more interested in film and music, because there's probably an interesting thesis in the changing TV/film or music landscapes in Germany.
Or since I'm a giant football nerd, tracing the history of Turkish Germans in the DFB, from Mehmet Scholl to Mesut Özil (and the future), looking at smaller clubs and youth clubs, which are the breeding ground for future pros, and maybe fan culture and how fans accept (or not) Turkish players.
