Yesterday I went to visit with the head of the History Department at the University of Central Missouri. UCM is the school in town and Dr. Tenbus is the head. I've begun to consider graduate school as I feel that I need to make myself more marketable. Therefore a Master's degree in History couldn't hurt. Plus it would probably be cheap, I wouldn't have to take the GRE, and I could still live at home and eat all of Mom and Dad's food. I'm not sure what exactly would be my specialty, but would probably lean towards American politics or diplomacy. I would be able to take classes in both History and Political Science, but my degree would say History. Just like the degree I'm holding in that handy picture over on the right. That one may say Political Science as well, but History is first.
Also the other reason that grad school sounds great is because I need some intellectual stimulation. Don't get me wrong being a waiter provides physical stimulation, but the need to think overly hard is not required. I like reading the news, different articles in publications like Foreign Affairs and Time, and books, but the the discussion would be beneficial to keep me intellectually stimulated.
