How bad is the museum field?? (Europe based)
Hi!
Im finishing my masters in museum studies, and after not liking my degree anymore (its language and literature) I'm really enjoying the field of museums from the internships and volunteering work i have done. I focused more in the role of educational department and public service.
But honestly, i have been seeing and people are starting to tell me that the sector and job is not worth the hardwork...and I'm starting to get unmotivated for something that I truly like and would see myself doing for years.
I have other option (but its like a faraway plan b) but I would like to try museums first. So tell me, how bad is it?? Like should I forget it or try once to see if it's worth the blood, sweat and tears?
Btw I'm from Portugal and the cultural sector is not great as off the moment but its kind off okayish (stretched okayish).
