Along these lines, and I've been out of school for almost 15 years now,
professors always warned us the pay would be terrible, NOT that jobs were
impossible to get.  Does it all depend on the discipline (art museum vs.
history museum, specifically)?  And does it depend on what you're willing to
sacrifice (living in an undesirable place, eating something other than
ramen, etc.)?  Or was the museum job market better in the late 80s-90s?
Probably many of us who are being asked these questions can't really
understand how it is now, because it wasn't as bad when we were cutting our
teeth.
