They say Art History is a B.A. major. They're wrong. It's a complete BS major!
But seriously it is. Unless your job is to be a museum curator or tour guide, there's nothing you can do with that major hahaha!

what you have does not dictate what you do. one of the cleverest people i ever met has a PhD in art history.
her uncle, my dermatologist, and a world class skin cancer specialist, loves art history and can lecture you on it - as well as piano, chemistry, or medicine.
don't presume when you don't know what it is yourself.

There are exceptions to the rule, but look lol, they didn't use that degree in its field.

Except I have the statistics to prove that art history majors are more or less useless, whereas mathematics is used in more or less 95% of majors that mean anything to this world :P

Those statistics are wrong then, as countless curators, art historians, artists, ect would tell you.

And please do tell me how all but a tiny fraction of those are so successful and not dragging themselves along, struggling to make enough money to support themselves, let alone a family!

That's what my sister did. Gigantic fail.

I believe she now wishes she'd trained in art therapy.

Is that art + psychology or something?
SevenTierCrazyCake
Something of that ilk, yes.

You don't need a degree in art history to perform those jobs.
TetrisGuy · 26-30, M
Yes but you'd be more interesting to the guests who want to know about the art so :P
Kingshelman
You would be even more interesting if you were young and attractive. Most people don't want a professor lecturing them when they go to a museum.

Actually usually the people that go to the Louvre are generally very interested in the history of the museum. Unless you're 12, and COMPLETELY sleepy, and are falling asleep on yourself, and quite literally fall asleep in front of The Last Supper.

The ignorance is strong in this one.....
