When I was in high school, I had a part-time job at the local art gallery.  Sometimes I gave tours to schoolchildren, but usually I worked in the gallery’s gift shop.  It was a pretty interesting job, because I like art, and so I enjoyed seeing what was being sold.  What I still remember is the watercolor paintings for sale at the gallery; often they sold for several hundred dollars.  A few even sold for over a thousand dollars!  It’s incredible – and rather inspiring – to think that a person can potentially earn a living doing something that her or she truly loves.
