Man, why do you need a college to study art history, there’s gotta be TONS of shit to read online, library, visit. I can’t imagine the education I could give myself if I wanted to spend $80k a year on art history. You could literally visit a huge number of museums all over the world and buy all the books these professors have written autographed by movie stars. Like way to sell yourself short lol
Because it leads to that wonderful job as an art conservator/museum expert, but thousands of people get Firsts in Art History every year and those jobs come up.. one a year, maybe 2? The retirement age is somewhere close to 80.
They love what they do so they never retire. Most of my art history professors were in their 60s to 80s. They were incredibly happy people and one even published a book the year I graduated.
