Or whatever they are called?
In the first film, she plays an instrument in an orchestra!
Just seemed like quite a career jump. It takes some serious schooling & likely experience to be hired for that job, doesn't it?
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.
I always wondered that too, seems like a hell of a switch even if she did have to give up the orchestra when she first had Oscar.

Yeah but what does it take to become a painting restorer?
sharewhat does a degree in engineering have to do with substitute teaching???
srsly, you take what you can get and that goes both ways. you take who comes in if they more or less qualify and you take what comes to you if you can handle the 'stress' of the job.
Reading the paper can really be depressing. Mr. Dithers fired Dagwood again.
Dana was a concert musician who played at Lincoln center. and she lived in that kicking apartment on central park west. she needs consistent money for that. that was a full time, stable job. just with long, weird hours.
I am sure the general logistics of having a baby and all his shi7 does not mix well with a freaking cello case that could have hidden a dead body! it's not like she played the flute. that cello case is freaking huge!!!!

When she's cleaning a painting, she told the guy with bad breath that since Oscar is older now, she's thinking about going back to the orchestra. I think she just was working there since maybe the schedule for the orchestra was too much when Oscar was younger or something like that.

Because Dan and Harold wrote it that way.
When theres no more room in Hollywood, remakes shall walk the Earth.share
She was a Cello player in like the New York Symphony Orchestra, the sort of position that usually takes a serious education. Maybe she did an Arts Major or something.
People are crazy and times are strange
This. Those two go quite well together, both requiring a great degree of hand to eye coordination.
shareYeah... that's why you have so many world-class musicians working second jobs in the painting restoration business. I guess the third movie would've had Dana working as an astronaut? ;)
Seriously: Both jobs not only require considerable "raw talent", but are also highly specialized and require years of training, practice and experience. It's rather doubtful that "switching" to that museum-job would give her more free time: Restoring old oil-paintings isn't a part-time job for anyone who enjoyed art-class in high school.

The real reason is that the script required:
1. The Ghostbusters to come across that painting
2. Venkman to run into Dana.
S.
Quite a stretch to think that a woman in the New York Orchestra would also do work at the Museum right?
shareThis was in the days before the internet. She wasn't able to fill her time posting rhetorical questions on IMDb every day.
Glasgow's FOREMOST authority Italics = irony. Infer the opposite please.
She may have taken art courses along with being a cellist. A Orchestra is art so she may have taken art courses while taking orchestra courses.
