This career wouldn't be a good career choice for me because I would find it way too stressful to try to choose artwork worthy of being in a museum. It would place to much on my plate, i feel because having to make decisions that affect other people usually freaks me out. So, I wouldn't be able to do this job.
Oh goodness. Too much work and not enough money I would say. Good call!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be boring. It seems like it wouldn't have much variation.
I agree. I wouldn't enjoy this job either. Especially with that small salary.
