This is directed at the likes of MK, Matt Deckard, Senator Jack, Marty M., Hemingway Jones and the innumberable others who have made vintage and style not just a hobby but a career. And seem to be successful at it.
As a fresh college graduate with a degree in history and someone who cannot for the life of him find a job in the field of history (outside of teaching), how can I and others like me get started in a vintage-based job and career? Whether it be in Hollywood, getting published, running a haberdashery, working at a museum, creating my own clothing line, etc.
The possibilities seem endless if only I knew where to start. Perhaps the old saying is true; it's the people and connections that really count, not the things you might know.
Is there room in the vintage/style business for someone who graduated with a history degree, is slowly learning about the Golden Era, loves to write and has an expertise in WW2 U.S. Army uniforms and militaria?
Where does one look?
