I've been planning on staying in school until I get my Ph.D because my dream career is to be a curator at the Metropolitan in NYC.
Currently, I work in a development office in a small art gallery in a city that is in between decadence and cultural restoration.
Truth be told, I am eternally bored at my job (I've been here less than a year - I handle money and correspond with our donors, along with some b**** work, such as filing and mail.) I've only completed my freshman year as an Art History/Philosophy major, so I think I can still make whatever jump I want. The people that I work with all have at least their M.FA, with mainly a concentration in Art History. I'm afraid that even with a Ph.D, I'm going to be working in a stuffy office doing work that is boring. I just don't like the atmosphere. It seems glamorous on the outside, but I'm afraid that I've tapped into the reality of it.
The real question: Is this IT or have I just gotten the bad end of the field? Experiences?
