Hello Everyone,

My name is Jessica and I just subscribed to this list not long ago and had
asked for advice about where to get started in the museum field.  Susan
Wageman suggusted that I look to the Museum-L archive for the answers to some
of my basic questions (Thank You, by the way). I now know that volunteering is
essential, internships are really helpful, the dream job is probably not going
to be my first one and the importance of a Masters in Museum Studies is in
debate (Smile).  So, I was wondering about how I would be able to find out
about local (I live in Colorado) museum opportunities, book suggestions for
sources of information on the museum field and organizations I should join to
get my foot in the door.  In addition, I was wondering about the opportunities
I have available to me with my B.A. in Anthropology with a minor in Art
History.  My college didn't have a Museum Studies course and I'm finding that
a great deal of the job positions are wanting a specified degree.  I do have a
years worth of museum volunteering and internship experience under my belt and
I hope that it will count in my favor....  Any suggestions or answer to my
question will be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.  

Sincerely,
Jessica Roode
