In order to be a curator you must love your subject because the pay is not high. However, you have a great deal of freedom in deciding the direction of research or collecting activities, you set policy for the collections you oversee, and you have opportunities to travel for research and for professional meetings. In addition, curators compile information to pass on to others and frequently are involved in designing exhibits and programs to educate the public, which can be a most enjoyable form of teaching. If you are the kind of person who dragged home bones or bugs when you were a kid, or who delights in handling old objects, or who loves to accumulate information, and if you are a self-starter, being a curator can be rewarding. For me, being a Museum curator was the best possible job. I love science, I love collecting, comparing, studying, and organizing objects, I like to talk about my subject but I am perfectly happy working on the objects. In order to be a curator in the sciences, I recommend a PhD. degree in your scientific subject (you won't get research grants without the PhD.) plus experience in a Museum. In the social sciences and history I recommend at least a Master's degree, with possibly an additional degree in Museum Studies. |
