"National salary standards based on experience,
educational background, and skills would directly
benefit applicants- who could use the standards as
leverage in negotiating a salary based on what they are
worth."
Response:
If AAM can establish an industry wide code of ethics,
it certainly could do something with salaries. The
excuse that we're too diverse is weak. If AAM did a
survey which indicated that the average curator with a
graduate degree made $xxx/month, I could use that data
to push my management, board, and legislature to raise
salaries. Even a review of entry level position
starting wages by geographic area would be helpful. We
don't need a "standard" which we'll be penalized if we
don't meet, we need some ammunition to use in the fight
for better wages.
As usual, just my opinion.
