Picking an Art Career: Fine Arts Professor

http://money-hotnews.blogspot.com/

If being a Fine artist seems too risky for you, but you'd rather spend your time in a studio than an office, consider being an art professor. You still get to be in a studio; although you will be grading students; and the pay is a little more secure. And since its not based on experience, this job is based on what school you apply and get the job at. Statistics are that if you work at the Rhode Island School of Design, you could get an average of $82,000 a year. But if you work at a smaller school such as Full Sail you would only get $31,000 a year. So it may be more stable, but do consider it's about one thing: location, location, location.
