11. "RE: Art, and So Forth"
In response to message #10
 
   Well, I know that it is possible to find jobs in-the-field for History degrees, and that combining that and graphic design is - relatively speaking - highly employable. Local museums and 'adopt a historic building' groups and so on need their exhibits and brochures and other paraphanalia designed, and there's quite a lot of groups like that - every county in the country is likely to have some old building full of interesting historical curios, kept up by a crew of dedicated retirees and What Republicans Assure Us Are Money Wasted On Young People... er, Americorps.

It is true that historic societies and their related organizations are, in general, basically broke, and that the number of slots is considerably exceeded by the number of people wondering, "Okay, now what do I do with a history degree?", but the absolute numbers are large enough that there's substantial turnover across the nation. From what I know of your own resume, G - electrical engineering, practical experience at web design, plus the specified Major and Minor - I think you'd actually have a good shot at finding something.

Now, if it'd be in Maine, I couldn't tell you, but the odds are better than anybody's chances of living like a human being on minimum wage.
