Any reason you can't do both?  I did both as an undergrad and my
first time through as grad student, in theory, you might double
your career opportunities.  I only know about the American scholarly
job market and that mainly through word of mouth, its not very good
for people in either field but not impossible either, just need to
be the right person at the right time.
