hi,
I am an artist living in nyc-
how do you break into the art handling biz? all the jobs i see ask that you have years of experience so how does one get started? anyone on here know of any companies that will hire someone who is willing to work hard?
thank you,
Hello reddit,
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I am a fairly smart person, not a genius but definitely have an ability to think outside the box/creatively. I just recently graduated with my MFA in Art but I did that because I wanted to do something for myself that I had wanted to do for some time and it was entirely funded so I didn't have to go into debt.
I need a career- I am in my 40's and have always had a job but mostly lower wage positions in areas that I found interesting and I managed ok by not spending more than I earned at the time. I am wondering if there are other highly sensitive people out there and what they do for work? I thought about nursing for like 20 years but I think it would overwhelm me- I could not deal with some of the messed up situations that people come into the hospital from. Life can be brutal and people are wild. I want to do something meaningful but I feel pretty lost at this point in my life.
anyway, wondering what other creative, interested, curious, kind empaths that don't love to be micromanaged do for work ?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME !
I apologize in advance if this seems like an obvious question...I did try to google it first but was confused!
I am interested in teaching art education in special education, ideally K-5 grades.
I have a BFA and a MFA in Visual Art. I was able to teach in a private school as an Assistant but I would prefer to work in a public school setting. Do I need to go back to school and obtain my Master's in Education + special education? Or is there a certificate I can get instead ?
Thank you,
