I don't think I can help much, but I've tried!!!! Questions: 1. How did you first get interested in the Titanic?
I heard about it in primary school and read everything I could on the matter!!
2. When did you decided to make a career out of your interest, and how did you go about that?
I actually decided NOT to make a career out of it!!!!! It my hobby, and I'd like to leave it at that
3. Did you choose a major in college with the intent of using it to pursue a career involving the Titanic?
I took philosophy as a major at university.However I often used titanic in essays and dissertations etc etc.
4. What educational background would you recommend for someone interested in learning more about the subject, and/or hoping to someday make a career in the historical and writing side of the Titanic?
History, history and more history. English and maths, because you won't get anywhere without those two staples.
5. Who do you consider the leading authorities of the Titanic to be? -----

8. How do you feel about the salvage rights issues that are in the news lately?
I think, ultimately, we have salvaged all we should and she will left there to rust and rot away now.
9. What path would you suggest for someone interested in having a career involving the Titanic; not so much the scientific and oceanography aspects of it, but mostly the historical side of it?
I would suggest majoring in history and keeping up to speed with your knowledge. Its not about remembering facts but looking at the humanitarian side of it all.
10. What are some careers that can incorporate an interest in the Titanic into? For example, a historian, an underwater explorer, ect.
