How can I build connections within the museum industry as a college student?

I'm currently a high school senior planning on attending George Washington University starting in the Fall of 2025, with a major in art history. My dream is to work on creating exhibits for a museum/gallery but I've heard that the field is super competitive and that job opportunities are limited. I want to start networking so that I can find my dream job, but I'm not sure where to start.

Would it be best to focus on an area of American history to be able to get a job at a museum or historic site in the US, or can I still study other areas of history, such as ancient civilizations or the Renaissance in Europe?

I really enjoy learning about ancient and European history more, but I figure that if I am looking for a job in the US at a historic site or museum, I would need more of an American history background. I don't know what kind of jobs would be available to someone with a focus on ancient civilizations or Renaissance. #history #museum #ancient #renaissance
