What is Transportaion History?
I am nearing one year as the feature writer for transportation history. During that time my life has changed a lot. I have moved from Tennessee to Virginia seeking that ever elusive thing called success. I have become very well aware that getting a teacher's certificate rather than a Master's in History would have made me much more employable in about a year less of schooling. I do not agree with this policy by schools, but I am faced with the reality that a four year degree in education will land a person a far better paying job much more easily than a six year intensive course in History. Nonetheless, I am thankful for my education, and I appreciate the perspective and knowledge my studies have given me even if I do not appreciate being devalued in the job market.
Here on suite, I have been seeking to write about, and seek for, the meaning of the history of transportation. I have learned much and learn more every day, but like so many academic pursuits it seems that the true meaning is in the quest more than in the conclusions. No one can definitively and finally answer a question such as "What is Transportation History?" but in seeking such an answer one can give focus to a pursuit of knowledge, and produce a body of writing that may speak for itself. I hope those who visit my site go away with a feeling of satisfaction with regard to what they were searching for. This is primarily a site entered via search engines, and for that reason much of the writing becomes focused upon the goal of providing content that readers are searching for.
Nonetheless, I have striven to maintain a basic focus within the topic, and to write articles that have common threads binding them back into a cohesive whole. I may not always have been successful, but in the end, I hope that my writing for suite will stand as a body of work that has both informational content value and an overall message about the significance of transportation to humaity and human cultures.
Thank you for visiting, and I hope to be here with you for at least another year.
