What kind of jobs would a Fine Arts degree get me?
I’m attending college next fall and I’m really nervous. I know my major is going to be art related since I love art and the Fine Arts bachelor degree seems to be my best option at the school I’m attending. It revolves around all types of art, though, so I’m not sure what kid of jobs I could get with it. Are there any well paying jobs I could get? I’m just weighing my options right now. Thanks!

Act of Parliament Jan 05

Check out these acting images:

Act of Parliament
3328261482 e1b5a0b17b Act of Parliament

Image by east_lothian_museums
"This act intended to abolish slavery in the mines and salt works, but it provided for the working off of existing indentures, and mine owners were able to manipulate the indebtedness of the colliers. Many miners remained in (or returned to) slavery.

This is a copy of the Act of Parliament of 1775 which regarded the slavery of colliers, coal-bearers and salters. Title reads, ‘AN ACT FOR ALTERING, EXPLAINING AND AMENDING SEVERAL ACRS OF PARLIAMENT OF SCOTLAND, RESPECTING COLLIERS, COAL-BEARERS AND SALTERS’.

From the early years of the seventeenth century the law in Scotland had treated miners and their families as property belonging to the mine owner, with no right to leave or to refuse to be sold on with the pit. Many sold themselves to the mine owners to escape the worse poverty of unemployment.
