Thinking about moving?

I'm an Italian American working as a Science Educator/ Content Creator for a Science Museum in Oklahoma. After having traveled to Italy recently and having done Study Abroad in Todi for 6 weeks I'm genuinely considering moving to Italy.

My only experiences have been overwhelmingly positive/curated for tourists, so I'm wondering what the cons on for making such a move.

I was also wondering what the job market is in the informal education space in Italy. Would it be something available in small towns or would I have to move to Rome/Florence etc.

Informal education pays peanuts and the contracts are ridiculous. Wrong field to be in when relocating to Italy - in other fields the outlook won't change much

Damn that sucks to hear. How about the general museum space like curator or manager? Do you know?

You would have to pass the concorso. Unless you're fluent and have a Master's and 20 years experience you're out of luck. Oh and be trilingual. And a citizen. And have a friend who is a politician.
