Any art history majors or graduates??

Question

Can anyone explain to me what I will be getting into if I major in Art History? I am trying to figure out if it is right for me.

Also, what kinds of jobs do you graduates have, and do you enjoy your work?

Answer 1

VERY risky decision. Studying art history is nothing you 'can't' do outside university. How about studying a more exclusive (less people can get into=> more job opportunities) major? Something that requires formal training?

Answer 2

I have a BA in Musicology from UCLA.  I've been trying very hard to become a school teacher in the social sciences.  Right now, I'm a bird groomer and an unemployed vet tech.

If you really want to go into the arts, get a graduate degree, and prepare to be college professor.  That's your best bet.

Or listen to Wooley Booley... it's good advise, too.

Answer 3

Study something worthwhile. I have a friend with a MS in art history, still trying to find a decent career.
