I always thought working at the Field Museum in Chicago would be amazing. As far as other fields, I've always just been interested in history in general but especially European history/Russian or Eastern European history/witchcraft and the supernatural/fairy tales and mythology.

So you said that you need a PhD to become a curator. I get that. I have a BA in History and Geography and have always liked the idea of working in a museum, I don't mind if I have to start at the bottom, but it seems like the only way to get into the industry is to either have a Master's, or to have at least 5 years of experience (which it seems like I can't get without a Master's). Do you have any recommendations as to what I could do to get into the field with my level of education and no prior experience? I can't really afford to go back to school right now...
