A little humor in geography class today...

I think the hard part for me, is finding something I'm interested in doing, but something I can also get a job doing at the same time. I know alot of college grads, including my own brother, who have degrees, and aren't even working in the field they studied. That would suck pretty hard I think.

I know exactly what you mean. I am attempting my third major since I've been back in (journalism and psychology before settling on history). I eventually want to teach on the collegiate level, so I will have to go for a lot more than just a bachelor's degree. I'll probably be doing grad school at UNO.

History major? Bro, that was my major the last time I went back. I love history! I am more of an ancient history buff, like Egyptology, Greek, and Roman empires. Western Civ, was my favorite class. I still read alot about this stuff, in my spare time. I just didn't know of many job options with that major. Museum Curator maybe?

I have a friend that got his master's in history and is working that the Bob Dole Library at the University of Kansas. The irony of that is that he is a hardcore democrat. HAHA! I also know a lot of history majors that went on to law school. A buddy of mine is trying to talk me into doing the same thing, but I want no part of it. There are a number of options for people with a history degree that they aren't aware of.

Good story...couldn't help but notice that avatar. Could my post from the other day have anything to do with it?

I don't know, honestly. On a different note, though...considering how much advertising Peyton is involved in...I wonder if he ever considered having one of the major companies use his forehead for advertising space as he's giving one of those interviews?

j/k...you all know I'm a Manning lover...so...

HA! I guess I must have missed that post. Pretty fitting, though. I saw this pic online yesterday and couldn't pass it up.

Great story. I teach high school & it is well known throughout the school my love for the Saints. I have got grief for years - but this year has been different. There are only a few people at school who are rooting for the Dolts!!!
