What can I do with a degree in art?
Throughout your college career, how many times have your parents asked, "How are you going to make a living with an art major?" You probably brushed off their concerns with bravado, never daring to admit that you often asked yourself the same question. Thanks to Great Jobs for Art Majors, you now have an answer--and better yet, you have options!
Designed to help you put your major to work, this handy guide presents both the basics of a job search and profiles of possible careers in your field. From teacher to studio artist, graphic designer to museum curator, you'll explore a variety of job options for art majors--including some you never knew existed--to determine the best fit for your personal, professional, and practical needs. In this updated edition, you'll find:
- Thorough explanations of job-search basics, such as crafting resumes, writing cover letters, and interviewing dos and don'ts
- Revealing self-assessments to help you determine your best professional fit
- Investigative tools to help you uncover those jobs that will make the most of your major
- Networking tips to get your face out in the field and your foot in the door before the resume is even sent
- True-life tales from practicing professionals who detail what daily life on the job is really like

Great jobs?,
By
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.
