Working as a curator or arts manager could be an option. Curators are artists in their own right even if it isn't their work on display. The event is their canvas.

Nope, the masters degress is just to go up on the salary scale.  With more education and more years experience you get paid more. You need a BA and a teaching credential to teach

I have an MA in geography. I worked as a cartographer in publishing for a short time, then went into K-12 education for personal reasons. I've been known to teach a class in geography at the local community college.\n\nThe folks I knew from the old department work as cartographers, professors, GIS analysts. Some of them have gotten other degrees, like law or MBA. Some work for government agencies, like Land and Natural Resources, for instance, or the Coast Guard. \n\nOne undergraduate geography major I know cannot divulge the name of the federal agency (based in Langley, VA) that she works for. Nor can she tell me what she does for a living, but I hypothesize that she analyzes aerial photographs taken in countries of dry climate and particular interest to the US government. A former grad school classmate is on the ground in one of those countries through his longtime commitment to a US military reserve organization. Another one is a peer counselor in drug rehab, but you know, it happens.

Probably art, but most of the people who work in art aren't exactly paid well.  There's a reason so many people describe themselves as "Starving Artists"

I got a BS degree and the whole point was to get a job that pays a lot more than without a degree. The drive was to never have to live paycheck to paycheck and to be able to have a very leisure lifestyle plus with a degree you get respect and a better class of job. More vacation, better benefits, an office, etc.

At my high school we didn't have majors, and I still got into University. There are some specific requirements for certain art programs though. You have to have taken some art history courses and have a portfolio with some samples of your own original artwork. Aside from the specifics, you need good grades and recommendations from teachers. A recommendation from an art teacher or artist would be even better.

Books.  I have two books I got for my 10th birthday.  A book of American History for kids and a book of classic poetry. Hmmm, I grew up to get my BA in history and I've been a bit of a songwriter.  Wonder if those treasured books had anything to do with that?

It's EXTREMELY important to get a college degree if you want a decent job.  Today's job market is much more competitive than it has *ever* been.  Today, bachelor's degrees are the *standard* (whereas a generation ago, a high school diploma was) for a *decent* job.  For anything beyond a decent job (and by decent, I mean simply steady employment with enough pay to *just* get by), you'll need an advanced degree.

I don't know, I have a BA and can't get a decent job... \n\nI guess it depends on what you consider a real job.\n\n  There are tons of jobs that you can get without a college degree, but there are also jobs that will be closed off to you because you don't have one.  \n\nIf you want to do civil service you can get many jobs without a degree, but for some jobs you need some college credits even, civil service.  \n\nIf you know what you want to do and you know it doesn't require a degree then go for it, but if you aren't sure I would say at least get an associates degree so that you can open more doors for yourself.

Get a trade school degree, it takes 2 years and you will have companies BEGGING for you to work for them.  I have an associates degree in Computer Aided Design and my since I finished the trade school my life has never been better!  You can't ask us "what is the best job" because I'm sure 75% of you all would hate my job while I sit here on Yahoo! Answers LOVING IT!  Go to school for what you like and happiness will follow.

I go to the Academy of Art University. I had some friends who used to go to Art Institute but transferred to the Academy because AI sucked. I don't know what you're going to major in, but you should definitely take a tour of the Academy. I love it here.

Attorneys make more money, of course, but it seems like teaching at the university level would be more rewarding in other ways. Both would be stressful. I hear it's pretty hard to find a professorship, though. But a decent lawyer can always find work. If you're serious about pursuing an MA or a PHD in history, don't expect to have an easy time finding a job after you graduate. I'm thinking about going for an MA in literature. I just think it could be depressing to be a lawyer. I heard a good quote from a lawyer, regarding his job: "There are a lot of trees, but no forest."--In other words, you spend a lot of time poring over papers filled with boring little details, without ever dealing with the things that really matter in life. As a history prof, you'd get to spend more of your time thinking about the bigger issues.

Depends on what kind, or aspect of Art you have studied or specialised in :\nIf you have opted for commercial art, then Advertising will offer a decent job placement, as well as decent income.\nIf you have specialised in illustrating, or painting, the publishing industry has jobs as cover designers, and illustrators.\nIf you have specialised in computer-generated graphics, then you can get a job in the motion-picture animation industry. \n...Unless you are more specific in what type of art you are studying, or hope to study, no one can can give you equally specific and detailed suggestions, dear !

Well, I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I can tell you you'll probably find it easier to find a job with a science degree than an art degree.  Besides, you can always major in science and have art as a hobby, but it's a lot harder to major in art and have science as a hobby.

Bad idea. That is what I have and never helped me with getting jobs. Better to specialize somewhat but still keep is somewhat broad like a BA or BS in Business, economics, etc.. Employers seem to like that better I have found.

Art Center in Pasadena, Ca is THE best. Its hard to get into and expensive but you are almost guaranteed a 6 figure salary when you graduate.
