Gee folks, can't you wait to hire someone for these jobs in, say, two years?  I need to finish my
masters before I go trapsing off to St. Paul or Illinois.

Seriously though.  I have LOTS of expereience in designing web pages but I have a degree in
Historic Preservation and now I am working on a masters in public history.  Should I be picking up
a minor or something to make me more presentable for these jobs, or would you hire me if you just
saw the list of clients (and maybe a portfolio)?  I hate the idea of taking computer science
courses because I have always figured they stifled my creativity.  I would love to do a MFA, but I
dont have any schooling in that at all.

I am just trying to see if I need to take some different classes to get hired for tech jobs in
museums, science centers, or historic sites.

And one more thing, does anyone hire tech jobs from a distance?  I know as a consultant I do this,
but places like EDUWEB.com are not going to hire me unless I am in St. Paul, right?

Thanks everyone for the help!
