Michael asks…
Could I get a part time job with my art?
I’m 17, still in highschool and could do with a little extra money. I don’t really want to get a job at a supermarket or anything like that though. Do you think my art is good enough for me to earn a little money some how? If yes, how would you suggest I go about it?
My gallery: http://xephia.deviantart.com/gallery

I loved them and hope you go far.
As for part time job i am not sure about that but maybe think about joining an art group or enter art competitions if there are any where you are. This could give you an outlet or place to display them. I could see them being used mainly as blank greeting cards but also as prints and/or framed but first you need to get involved with some sort of organisation who can help/guide you in the right direction – this would also put you in touch with other artists.
Sorry to say it but it could well be a long haul.
Good luck i hope you do well.
John asks…
What jobs could a degree in History of Art lead to?
The only obvious answer I can think of is to work in a gallery or museum. I’m interested in the degree itself but if that’s the only job that is likely to come out of it then I’d reconsider. Any suggestions?
Serge Martin answers:
Traditionally it leads to a job in the mail room of a large company, and eventually to one of the executive offices. Either that or cab driver in a ski resort community.
