Question:

How do I find an Art History job?

I have a degree in English and Art History and a minor in Studio Arts. Thus far it has been truly difficult to find a position in my field. I would love to work for a museum or research institution but I don't know where to look or how to get in the door. Any ideas would be wonderful.

Perhaps I should add the following:
I already know I need a PhD or at the bare minimun a MA in Art History in order to get a job in the "real world." What I really would like to know is are there jobs out there that would like an Art Historian with a background of English and Studio Arts. My dream job is to work my my proff in Pompeii but I can't do that while supporting my husband through grad school and I'm going nuts at my job that pays the bills. Is there anything out there Art related that would like to have an Art person work for them?

For a gentler and I hope more helpful answer to what one does generally with a history degree try this:
