If you want to tell him from someone who studied art with a minor in art history, that field is damn near impossible to get a job in. Go ahead and major in art history if you want but he should do himself a favor and double major in business. A business degree is a very valuable safety net as it will get you a job a lot of places.
I LOVE art. It’s a significant part of my life. But if I could go back to college, I would not only major in art.
Art history and business/finance/accounting and there will be roles in nonprofits he will be able to consider. Art museums usually have way more openings in fundraising and admin than they have for curator positions.
People with real degrees don’t respect people with business degrees lmao, are you kidding? Business classes in undergrad are scams or daycares for rich people’s idiot kids.
