[quote=Anonymous]My brother pursued this path for a few years. He had the summer internship at the Met and was very well connected. Obviously this was 20+ years ago ... he did say then that *everyone* was wealthy (our family was merely "rich."*) He went off and got an MBA and now works in a different field. One of my close friends growing up is now one of the top people at MOMA; also from a very rich family. I know he put in VERY long hours for very little pay for several years before it started to pay off for him. So in my sample size of 2, yeah, it's tough to support yourself for the first few years, especially if you want to be seen as equal to your probably-wealthy coworkers (show up to work looking well dressed and groomed, go out for drinks and dinner, etc. All those haircuts and manicures and new shoes and such add up.) But again, my experience is going back 20+ years. Perhaps it is different now. * Using the Chris Rock definition of rich vs wealthy.[/quote]
