Jessica - I couldn't get through off list. If you have the time, visit
nearby museums and discuss your interest.  Interview them, too, to see if
they offer what you want.  If you'd like to call me or e.mail me with your
correct email and let me know where you are in Colorado I could make a few
suggestions more specific.  [log in to unmask]

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
