What does your girlfriend do for a job if it’s alright for me to ask? Or if she hasn’t reached her full career potential, what was her track of education/study?
She works in the art world, mainly restoring and researching art. Her trajectory is set to end at jobs for state museums and such.
People always joke about an art degree being useless, but there are some actual great degrees you can get which offer great pay in the end. And you get to be present in all the museums and art circles, which I always thinks is fun. Gets me places I don’t usually end up in.
That’s really interesting! I hadn’t thought much about that career path, but it definitely makes sense to me that “art degrees” have many valuable uses. One can only imagine how many countless masterpieces would have been lost to history, rot, or negligence if it wasn’t for the professional art community.
Plus museums are pretty cool to say the least, so having a back door access seems like it’d be extremely fun!
It’s a bit disappointing how in the US almost all museums are privately owned which leads to nepotistic and incompetent management, with most jobs or available positions at galleries being taken up by good friends of the museum’s CEO. I would actually blame that partially for the attitude of Americans towards art degrees, as it is extremely difficult to succeed here with one without back door dealings, nepotism, or family favors. Leaving the majority of common people unemployed as all positions are sucked up by legacy workers and artists.
