Why is it that when a job comes up in a Museum or Gallery you always require an Arts Degree,which is a complete waste of time,first of all being a rare art dealer for over 45 years,and at this moment I have two rare Henry Moore sculptures for sale,and not a chance would I hire any graduate with a degree over on hand experience to work with me,there is nothing better in a business than years of experience,not some graduates that the only experience they have is reading a few books,I my self have for sale some of the worlds great art,ex: Leonardo,Rubens,Rafael,Renoir,and if you think for one moment I would have some graduate handling paintings of this caliber,then you had better give your head a shake. Maybe I want to retire and apply for this position,and the only degrees I have is in religion,so how about that.
