>> So the thing I like about the job-- when you go for a PhD in history,
you have to be a document nerd, right?
You have to just love the documents.
You have to be willing to go to the archives and really get excited
to find the historical nuggets that have either not been uncovered before
or have not been interpreted in a way that you think is really important.
And so when you go for a PhD in history, you're pretty much resigned to a job in academia.
If you get a PhD in history, you pretty much want to be a history professor.
So this is a really unique job that you use the same research, editing, and writing skills
that you would as an academic historian but you're applying it to a more--
well, it's a more office kind of environment.
But from my perspective, someone who's interested in national security,
I love the idea that our work is really-- it's palpably relative to a lot of people.
And so I love the fact that we can take the skills that we learned in graduate school,
terrific graduate program in history at the Temple University and apply those skills here.
So I would say that's easily my favorite part of the job.
