CNNMoney.com named Curator as one of the 15 most stressful and underpaid jobs, alongside Probation Officer, Producer and Minister (the Good Book kind, not the politico). Yep, seems we non-curators don't take into account the behind-the-scenes crap that they have to shovel on a daily basis.

"What they don't see are all the extensive loan forms, all the hassle of trucking and shipping, the fights with private collectors and institutions to lend work. You're working up until the last second to create that great experience, and curators don't get overtime."
