How do career changers get letters of recommendation for grad school?
- The accountant and weekend painter who thinks, "I'd like to teach art to children."
- The drummer who thinks, "Getting an MLIS and working in libraries would be a great way to spend the second half of my working life, once I turn 50."
- The stay-at-home-parent who realized how much they love plants, enough to study botany or forest management for a new career now that the youngest child is in school.
All of these examples are people that I know. They graduated from college 10-20 years ago. If they apply to programs, they have to get letters to attest to their ability to do graduate work, which seems to exclude bosses, co-workers, and even volunteer supervisors. Their previous academic experience is long ago (professors retired) and usually unrelated to the new field. |
