I'm a full-time student at the moment.
However, today I was an extra in a zombie Western that's shooting in NC.
I got paid a sandwich!

Sign up to be an extra. I've done it a couple times. Sometimes you get paid, but most of the time you don't. Almost always free food though, and you get to meet celebrities occasionally.

Writing, lecturing, research, education, editing, etc. There are options to work with within academia. For the time being though I am doing most of my work out of sheer interest and sending it to academic journals.

You pick a certain field or time period, and you research it. I spend my time between two periods. Late Roman Republic/Early Empire and British History From the beginning of the Hanoverian dynasty to the end of Victoria's reign. I recently wrote a paper challenging the accepted view of Pompey and his conquest and settlement of the eastern Mediterranean. It did quite well at an academic conference.

Im very interested in Nazy Germany and World War 2, I've thought of trying to make something out of this interest, like making it into something I could do after I leave school. Thanks for the Info.

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House! |
