To Whom it May Concern:
I'm currently enrolled in a master's program for historic preservation,
and while I find it interesting to some extent, I've found that it is not
"hands on" enough for my tastes--especially when I know the career
path I will eventually want to take will involve much more direct contact
with historic buildings (rather than focusing on theory and policy,
...)
I'm wondering if you have a list of good preservation trade schools
in the eastern half of the U.S. Or, is there another website you
could point me too?
If anyone has advice on my current situation, I would take that
too--i.e.: Would it be in my best interest to continue pushing through
the program I'm currently in so that I can have my Master's degree?
Or, if I know the work I eventually want to do is more hands-on (probably
preservation carpentry) would it be more worth my time to go directly
to that kind of training program instead?
I'm obviously having some difficulties deciding the correct path,
so if anyone has personal experience to share, I'd be interested!
Thanks in advance,
Sylvia Cleveland
