Question, especially for you classicists - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I am still juggling around different options regarding graduate schools and whatnot, but at this point, I am reasonably certain I would like to get a masters degree in classics, history, or something between the two. I have about another year until projected graduation in April of 2008, but I may procrastinate and wait until Fall 2008.

Question is this: what kinds of things ought I to be doing along the lines of internships, research, jobs in related fields, etc., that would be appealing to graduate schools? Where would I look for those sorts of things?

Or should I just give up trying to be smart and become a filthy rich lawyer instead?

Thoughts from all are welcome.
