The Student Thread

Not sure I want to do yet...I do want to work in a museum at some point.

there is so much you can do with working in a museum. you can do what i want to do like be an archivist and conservationist or a museum educator. then there is like museum management and curatorial classes..... those are more for graduate students.

to work in a museum you'd most likely have to have some kind of degree in Art History. i wanted to major in Western European History with a focus on England and Italy and then i found the wonderful world of art (lol).

my suggestion if you really want to work in a museum in the future is find an art topic/ time period you are interested in like the Italian Renaissance or the Impressionists in Europe and France. museums look for people with expertise in one subject/time period of art.

*don't know if you knew this already, just lettin you know, try to help in a way*

wow, it's interesting to see how schools work in other countries

right now, im in college studying international economics, if i take the final exam im gonna be a bachelor in economics. we study maths, statistics, marketing, communication, finance etc. most of them are really interesting.
the school has 6 +1 semesters, im doing the 3rd now. the plus 1 is gonna be compulsory work experience, hopefully somewhere abroad
this week im having 4 exams...1 for each day, so im going back to learning, as the night has just started and theres much coffee left:lol:

Thanks for the info The school were I go doesn't really have an art history program so currently I am just majoring in History. Probably am going to have to go to grad school if that is what I want to do. At this point I have no idea what I want to do, that was an old idea I had and still have some interest in it.

Originally I was going to do something like archeology but I think that is going to be on the back burner right now.

Once again though, thanks for the information! I appreciate the help

if you wanna go with Archeology you would most likely need some Anthropology classes. Anthro is such an interesting field there's like 5 fields that you can study: Linguistics, Physical (this i what Breannan does on "Bones"), Cultural, Applied, and Archeology.

i'd love to do Archeology it's so disaplined and interesting. Cultural anthro is complicated. last semester at school my class studied a little bit about human origins.... that was so freakin fascinating!!!! i still remember all the complex names and everything, i had a great time studying that subject.

Not fun at all. I thought a year out of uni on placement would keep me away from exams etc for a bit, but no. I have 3 exams coming up, at work!

again not fun!

Good luck with the exams you two. :thumbsup:

I have absolutely no idea what I want to do in life, so I am basically taking everything possible at my school, which is a sub-school of the biggest university in my state.
Right now I am have Composition, Algebra, Psychology, Computer Science, and US History after the Civil War. I would really like to take more classes so that I can get a feel for what's out there, but unfortunately my scholarship that is paying for everything won't allow me to take over 15 hours of classes, so I'm stuck. I don't really have any problems with anything except Algebra. I don't know why either, because I had Calculus in high school. I think I am making the easy stuff too hard now. :shifty:

Anyways, my mother tells me that I should work for the FBI. :lol: Funny right! I tell her she's crazy.
My major problem is that I am super undecisive and while I may like this idea one day, I'll hate it the next.
Maybe I'll just be a student for the rest of my life, I'd really like that. Especially since I got $2400 back that was left over from scholarships.

Haha student for life would be interesting, but I'd be too poor!!

Thanks for the good luck

I still have no idea what I want to do in life, I guess i should try and decide!
