  Say, I want to cite a line from an article 1 - author 1; and that specific line is already a reference from another journal article 2 - author 2.
  What is the best way to cite the chosen line in my bibliography? I guess the best practice is to make reference to the original article 2. Please advise whether author 1 does not receive any credit, since I came across the particular idea from author's 1 article 1.

  According to APA manual, cite author 1 (secondary source) in reference/biblography list. The in text citation should read something to the effect of: 

  Author 2 (original source) notes "quote" (as cited in Author 1 citation).

  See APA manual, section 4.16 for further guidance. Hope this helps!

  I am thinking of going on and getting a PhD. But I am not sure what area would benefit me most. I have a BA in history, an MA in secondary education, and an MA in genocide and Holocaust studies which is my area of expertise. My goal is to teach in a private college or university. I would like to teach teachers how to teach about genocide and the Holocaust. I am thinking of getting a PhD in education, but will this help market myself, or should I get PhD in something else? Any suggestions would be helpful...

  I agree with the previous response. If you are planning to teach at the college or university level, then it may be in your best interest to look into getting your Ph.D in History and continuing to focus your research on genocide and Holocaust studies. Some universities offer dual major programs where you could receive a degree in both History and Education. This may be another option to look into. Good luck!
