Very well put.



The only things that I would add would be to take contract positions -

they may be short term, but they get you in the door and give you

experience on many levels. Also consider working somewhere that isn't

necessarily a museum or historical society - I'm working for a

healthcare system that happens to have an established archives. My

position evolved from a contract job (supplemented by daytime

secretarial work) that lasted for five years.



Good luck!
