I taught high school Modern European History & World History for 4 years prior to receiving my M.A. My plan was to return to the classroom, but my career path took a differnt direction into non-profit management & fundraising. I still use the research skills and the presentation skills (along with all of the lessons learned while being a sorority woman, of course!)
Oh...and my thesis was on Jack the Ripper since I had been to London in 1988 which was the 100th anniversary of the murders. Also, having an interest in European history while studying in a small middle Georgia school was a challenge finding primary sources. (This was pre-Internet.) The Georgia College library did have The Times on microfische, so it worked out fine.
