looking for some advice out there - my wife is interested in going back to work. She has a Masters in Classical Art History and Archeology from a pretty good school, and has worked as an archeologist, a museum currator (in a pretty good museum) and has about 10 years as a teaching asistant and a lecturer in 3 different universities (in art history). she doesn't have her PhD. She also speaks 4 languages well (3 at native level), and can read and get by in 2-3 others.
We live within about an hour of manhattan.
I have thought that the best thing would be for her to teach in a community college or a prep school. She isn't sure that she could get a job like that without a PhD. She doesn't think that she could teach in a high school, without certification, and she doesn't really want to be a substitute high school teacher.
I don't think she could get a paying job as a currator in one of the good manhattan museums, without connections and a PhD.
I thought about antiquities stores, or auction houses.
I am also not sure if she could leverage her languages for a private sector job -
anyway, anybody have any suggestions or ideas?
