I can't answer for others, but I originally studied art history as a stepping stone for historic preservation. I have always loved, and have been involved with, saving historically significant landmarks.

Immediately after graduating college, I got a job with the local preservation group. It wasn't saving old buildings. It was political mumbo-jumbo, butt-kissing, and dealing with morons. Totally turned me off to the entire thing. Now I work with piano rolls. Who knew?

See, that's cool, but nowadays, a landmark to one is a symbol of oppression to all the people of a different color than the one who erected the landmark.

Piano rolls? Are those like Swiss Cake Rolls? I like Swiss Cake Rolls....
