1.0 out of 5 stars Great jobs?, March 9, 2005
This review is from: Great Jobs for Art Majors (Paperback)
This book was not that informative to a person with even a small knowledge of art. The title makes it sound like there is a long list of unique and fun jobs, but more than half the book is basics about how to find and apply for a job- any job, not a great job. It only talks about 5 BASIC paths that any idiot would already know about. If you need to know the BASICS get this book.
