I'm hoping to work in my state's compliance & review department (in the division of historical preservation) once I finish my coursework.

My dad's a lawyer. I never thought about following in his footsteps. However, I spied this today in regard to provenance issues at the MFA Boston. Hahahaha, maybe!
