As someone who also has a degree in history, I love seeing other people working in fields that are not that expected for us. The skills we get studying humanities are underrated. We can do so many great things.
Same! I graduated with a history degree and now work in marketing. I miss history all the time but I find there are still plenty of ways to engage with history outside of my 9-5.
@ exactly. I still read a lot of history books, but now I don’t have essays to write about them 😂. I work in media monitoring so the things I learned at university (like never trust a source at first sight) is still something I use every day
A lot of people who want to move out of the Humanities into the business environment or just want to move up to a coordinator, supervisor, and/or manager position do not realize that there are three things they need to be able to do as you indicated in the video lesson: 1) supervise, 2) schedule, and 3) budget. That's at the core. Once you have those skills, management becomes easier because you are then organized. I hope you do more of these. I like this.
It's only been a couple of days but I feel spoiled by having all those videos in quick succession! These weeks have been super hectic for me, so getting to have short breaks where I watch your videos really helps me stay on track and motivated. Also excited for the holidays! Happy vlogmas!
I ended up making a very similar to transition from academia into a research and tech position. I'm using a lot of the Notion skills I've learned to manage organizational data, you'll be very happy to know! (I started using Notion about 5 years ago after watching so many videos of you using it!) I had a similar experience--it was the skills I was building on the side that ended up getting me the job. I leveraged my religious history education with my entrepreneurial skills to land a research analyst position at a religious non-profit and I couldn't be happier!
@KaelynGraceApple OMG, HOW?? You're an inspiration. I would love to do vlogmas some year, but that's so much editing!! Well, I'll be tuning in, I'm excited!
“Fire Becomes Her” by Rosiee Thor definitely fits the “female rage” theme. It’s a 1920’s inspired fantasy about an Election between a queer women candidate & an old-white-man. The MC is a women who works on both. The author said in a tweet the book was for anyone who wanted to set our current government on fire (the magic in the book is fire).
Other "Female Rage" books you might like: The Power by Naomi Alderman, The End of Men by Christina Sweeney-Baird, Red Clocks by Leni Zumas, and Vox by Christina Dalcher. A non-fiction book that may be of interest to you: Invisible Women: Exposing the Data Bias in a world designed for men by Caroline Criado-Perez. Enjoy!
Communicate and ask questions! So often we want to look like we have it handled and forget that it is ok to ask for help and clarification. You'll be learning a lot as you go so don't be afraid to reach out to your teammates for insight

Yay vlogmas! Do you have someone that edits your videos? Cause as someone with a PhD, yt channel, and job, it's HARD to find editing time!
I do but he’s out of town the first half of vlogmas 😅😅 so I’m editing on my own again

The Grace Year is such a good book. I read it a few months ago and loved it so much. I hope you will also enjoy it.
