I believe the answer is:

snoop

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be too curious' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'a spoilt son going to work' is the wordplay.
'a spoilt' indicates anagramming the letters.
'going to' says to put letters next to each other.
'work' becomes 'op' (common abbreviation for 'opus').
'son' anagrammed gives 'sno'.
'sno'+'op'='SNOOP'

'about' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for snoop that I've seen before include "-- Dogg, US rapper; spy" , "Be nosy" , "Investigate; pry" , "Furtively investigate" , "Stick one's nose in" .)
