Art History MA: Jobs

[Lamantin]

Let's say in the course of rallying yourself for PhD applications, you've stumbled across the abysmal job prospects, lack of stability, and geographic immobility of the professor life (read: likely adjunct). You've internalized this. You understand it's a gamble. But, in the back of your mind, you've started thinking about what opportunities the MA can bring you, and whether it might be a more employable degree. 

 

What would you say are the career options for someone with an MA in the field?

Probably assistant curator, maybe even curator at a small museum; lecturer at a college or even a university. You could work as a gallery director as well. This is just off the top of my head, there are definitely more options out there.
