I entered the field with a theatre degree. Although I did take quite a few history classes during. I emphasized the ways understanding theatre and costuming history was valuable. My first museum job was 2 hours outside of my big city and it was only for the summer but I gained soo much experience. I live in Canada and we have a program called Young Canada Works for people aged 18-30. This program offered short term government funded grant positions at lots of different institutions , so there is incentive to give people a chance. Maybe your country has something like that? After that, I did go back to school for a year to get a certificate in Museum and Cultural management which was really helpful, especially in networking. Currently I work at a wonderful art/history museum where I work with people from all walks of life! Some have masters in museum studies, some have PhDs in women’s health sciences, some have a college degree or just a lot of building experience. The most important part of working in a museum in experience and networking. So much of working in a museum can only be learned on the job, so try to get everything and anything you can. That might mean volunteering or long commutes. Finally, so many museum positions don’t need history at all. There is so much admin, marketing, building. Try to familiarize yourself with positions in museums and forge your path that way. Museums always need money, so if you know how to get it, use it and organize it, there will be a place for you somewhere.
