I have a 4 year degree in business management and when looking for a job they are asking for specific degrees not general degrees. I can't even get into a business position let alone a management position. I am in federal service and it seems that experience is chosen over education.
It is a difficult road to make a change now.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
