Hello everyone,
I'm posting this late, as I have been a month in already, but I have started going back to school as a graduate student. The previous year, I applied for a number of jobs, from state to museum work, only to fall short. Turns out, I need a Masters to be work for the majority of jobs in the museum field. Had a discussion with my parents, and I have started taking graduate level courses this fall at Central Connecticut State University. I'm currently non-matriculated, but I have submitted my paperwork to be enrolled for the spring semester.
I'm taking two courses now. One is dealing on how to become a Professional Historian(utilizing primary and secondary sources) and the other is a discussion-oriented class on WWII. I am hoping, and aspiring, to become a museum educator(preferably military history, though maritime and aviation work too). I'll admit, the amount of reading, researching, and writing seems a bit overwhelming at times now. I do enjoy the classes, however, and I believe I'll do just fine. Just thought I'd share this.
