So I've decided to start a blog because I read on a website that blogging is something you should do when you're unemployed. So, since I'm unemployed, I thought I would go ahead and do this. (Oh yeah, this is the website by the way, http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2009/03/06/5-things-to-do-when-youre-unemployed-hint-its-not-job-hunting/) I don't really know what this blog will be about yet. It might be about trying to find a job in the history field. Or it might be about history. Or it might just be about trying to find any job in general. Since, I really can't.
I doubt anyone will read this. So I'm going to say it. I am trying to do this so I'm a. not bored out of my mind, b. not getting fatter, and c. not driving my very stressed mother crazy. Now, even if I do find a job later this week - I have an interview for an accessory store later this week, I'll still post.
This is why. I am a college graduate with a bachelors of arts. I'm currently looking to go into history. But not teaching! I am a history graduate with a focus in public history. If I can find a job in my field it'll most likely be in archival work, or library work, or research, or even archeological. In fact, right now I'm looking for any job so that I can save up and go to field school and have even a chance of working in cultural resource management, which is what I really really want to do. If I'm lucky I'll save up enough money and find a school near where I live that teaches architectural history courses, then I can have some architecture under my belt and straddle both sides of the fence of cultural resource management.
Really honestly, though, I'm hoping this blog will keep me from getting depressed, so depressed I'll stop looking for work. However, even if I struggle against the world and nothing comes of it, nothing will definitely be the result if I stop struggling. Therefore, here's to a successful blog!
