Curator high on list of most stressful jobs that pay badly
Posted by News on 9 November 2009 at 3:00pm
CNN has made a list of the fifteen most stressful jobs that pay badly, reports Lindsay Pollock, and number 12 is Curator (Social Worker is number 1). 89% of curators apparently report that their job is stressful, and 'median pay' is listed as $46,000. 'News' would like to point out that Reporter is number 6 on the list, however, and paid worse ('median pay' - $32,900). We would also like to take this opportunity, while we are talking about poor, exploited workers who are going out of their minds with stress, to alert you to Hyperallergic's very funny Powerless 20 (based on ArtReview's very own Power 100). The Top 20 Most Powerless People in the Art World. Wannabe curators, if not put off enough by today's news, should pay attention to the number 3 and 7 most powerless people....."3 – Independent curators without trust funds – There’s a saying, “No trust, no love.”
7 – Assistant Curators living off $27,000 salaries, with $80,000 in grad school debt from a fancy curatorial studies program. (When students enter MBA programs, professors often talk about the negative investment they make in their futures as they spend money to eventually make six or seven figures upon graduation. In curatorial programs, discussions of economics that don’t reference Marx or Negri are just gauche.)"
