Dream Job

My dream job, and ultimate career goal, is to become a museum curator. I want to work at a large History/Natural Science museum in an urban environment. I will set up wonderful and fascinating new exhibits and perhaps even go on an archaeological expedition or two.

There is a common view of museums as stale and boring old places. This could not be farther from the truth. Sure, every museum has permanent exhibits, but there will always be new temporary exhibits to set up. And even the permanent exhibits receive new additions from time to time.

I think a large museum is the perfect working environment for me. I want to learn something new every single day- and how could one not working around so much information. I would love to be responsible for sharing knowledge with the world.

When I study History, I give most of my attention to primary sources. They are the best resources to use since the information has not been filtered by someone else's opinions and interpretations. What do museums work with? Primary sources!! What a perfect working environment!
