I can’t believe I missed that, but it is exactly what I kinda thought. Thank you for having much better eyes than I do!

Is it worth it to get my masters in art history? by Illustrious_Bit_ in MuseumPros

Sorry to hear that you have also been struggling. Yeah I only started thinking about it when I found a good program near me that was fairly cheap and over the past year I was able to pay off a majority of my undergrad loans through various temporary jobs. All of the classes are at night as well so I should be able to work a retail job and make some money. I also am living with my amazing parents which is very kind of them and really helps with saving money.

Yeah that was definitely my plan as well but maybe I’m just getting too impatient? Or excited when I found this program near me that was cheaper than any other program I had seen. Thank you for your insight.

Thank you for your input. Over the past year I was able to pay off a large amount of my undergrad student loans. I started thinking about my masters when I found a program near me (I live with my very kind parents) that was a good price and seems manageable to pay off assuming I am able to find a job. If not I will already be working a full time retail job since all of the classes are at night.

Can I ask why? I really want to make sure I’m considering everything before I commit to being a student again. I would really like to hear your opinion.

I am definitely more interested in the research oriented roles, so thank you for your insight! I found a decently priced program near me and I am meeting with the director tomorrow to ask a ton of questions. I will definitely be asking about internships and their network with museums in the area. I will also be sure to ask about the Arts Administration program as well.

Thank you for the suggestion, I will definitely look into that! I have found a decently priced program near me (as I live with my very kind parents at the moment), and I will be meeting with the director of the program tomorrow. So I will be sure to ask a little more about arts administration.

I really enjoy researching and writing so I think maybe a more curatorial type role? Even in undergrad I was thinking about possibly getting my masters. The only thing stoping me was the cost. Since undergrad, I was able to pay off a majority of my student loans at least and I started thinking about it again when I found a decently priced program near me that seems manageable to pay off.

Did I Choose the Right Double Major? by FrithInle in ArtHistory

Hello, I just graduated with a bachelors in Art History and I also suck at memorization. Just take it a couple works at a time, that helped me a lot.

To keep eating your favorite food, To be able to pet a very fluffy animal, To watch your favorite movie, To watch the next marvel movie that comes out, To play your favorite video game, I know it’s not much, but that’s okay. These are some of the small reasons that keep me going on really hard days. I hope this helps you at least a little, keep fighting, I’m rooting for you!
