I just read the post from Tess ([log in to unmask]) about what are the chances of getting work in a museum without a Masters degree. I do computer consulting to work my way through college. I have almost finished my B.S. in Computer Information Systems with emphasis on Systems Analysis, along with minors in Anthropology and English (linguistics emphasis). I know I could "sell out" to corporate America for the big bucks, but I would rather make the "little" bucks doing something I enjoy. I, too, have an interest in Native Americans. Please post responses to Tess' question to the list as I am sure others are wondering, too. Or, at least, forward a copy of your reply to Tess to me, too. Thanks, Chuck Coker [log in to unmask] PS: i find it interesting that I can be a successful consultant, but I can't get a job. It seems that when I am a consultant, the only thing companies care about is if I can "deliver the goods." When I apply for a job, all companies want to know is if I has a BS degree; competence seems to play no role in the hiring decision. Any views on this?
