Aw, c'mon folks!!  The original post was for a *secretary* in an internet
company.  Nothing to do with curators or collection managers.  Not that we
get rich at our work, I agree, but let's be miserable for the right reasons.

I felt the same way and now I am law school. I am borrowing more money than
those salaries a year with most going to tuition. I don't know that I was
"depressed" enough to make me go to law school, but the low starting salary
affected my decision.

I don't mean to sound rude, but didn't you realize the lack of currency
that an art/art history degree has before you started your graduate
program?

I agree, it is depressing--enough to make anybody go to law school.
