Auction House Curator

To make your parents feel like that Art History degree they paid for is actually worth something, we suggest going the auction house route. There's a certain level of reverence for names like Sotheby's and Christie's, and not only will their polished reputations reflect well on you, they'll open you up to a world of flashy cocktail parties, priceless artwork, and high-profile collectors looking to be charmed into their next big bid. Oh, and don't forget the jewelry sales (swoon!).
