Well now that I have been hit from all sides (and have
become even more muddled than when I started!) I
wanted to say thank you all for the input.
I really love education, and I am sure whatever I do
will involve education. Maybe working somewhere else
and doing the adjunct thing in the evening. I am sure
my path will present itself shortly.
I hope I didn't offend anyone by saying that I would
work somewhere and then get the teaching position. I
understand that museums should be careers. But
something else to think about in today's economy is
that often a career is one or two years tops. So I am
sure there is a lot of biding time til the next big
thing comes along.
On something else, I saw this skills needed later, and
I was wondering how I could demonstrate I have these
skills without direct experience in them. As an
example, I do web design, how do I demonstrate that I
know how without an actual job in a design firm? I
know I could make a heck of an
administrator/educator/whatnot, but without degrees in
those, I lose. I am this very dynamic versatile
person that studies everything he can get his hands on
and therefore I have studied everything from history
to business to politics if I know it will help me in
the future. Except now I am feeling like I will never
be able to do those things without working a billion
jobs to demonstrate to that one key job that I can do
this all.
Lastly, can someone tell me what a registrar does. I
come from the world of buildings, so I dont know all
that I should about the museum internal workings. I
understand all of the bits and pieces except
registrar. I think of a college registrar and I dont
think that is quite right.
So again, thanks all for the input. I appreciate it.
Aaron
