in the midst of deciding and really not knowing what to do. i'm sort of gathering other peoples' thoughts at the moment. compiling and making pro/con lists.
I wasnt expecting to get a job that had a high growth possibility. And something that I loved as much as I do. I WAS planning on going to grad school next fall for art administration/community art development - but now i'm thinking of getting my 2-3 years experience and moving on to another non-profit afterwards. I mean, i'm learning how to fundraise, write grants and essentially develop a community art center with hands-on experience. Its kind of unreal when I sit back and think about it.
I really enjoy having a job that values my opinion and gives me real tasks that allow me to make a definite impact on the organization. kind of nice compared to the retail and child development baby-sitting jobs i've held in the past. So that makes me want to stay with the center for a while and think about taking night classes in nyc for the time being and waiting until it is essential for a career move to go back to graduate school.
Although one of the programs i was looking at had public policy in terms of the arts. It was an art management and cultural policy program. So, who knows. As of now i'm completely content with my internship (the international show - learning about exhibitions and putting on a show) and my part time job in Development.

In other news, my sister changed her major and is working towards being a social worker. She interned/worked at Baldpate all summer and is getting her psych degree with plans of going to grad school right after college for social work. She should talk to you.
