I was going to teach Social Studies. However, I did a little work in a museum and loved it, so I decided to change my focus to curating or archival work. The museum I worked at lost city funding and became reliant on private donations. One curator and an educator were laid-off, leaving only one curator. Governments will cut costs by eliminating non-essentials first, like art and history museums. Liberal arts falls under non-essential in most fields outside education and psychology. I worked for a year in the public school system, and I know I don't want to teach. That's about it in a nutshell.
