In regards to the young gentleman with the freshly-minted BA, my main question
is that do you have any experience? Have you done any internships in museums?
If no, then I suspect your chance of finding a museum job may be fairly low.
I think practical experience is extremely important for finding a museum job;
a BA just doesn't cut it anymore, not while there are plenty of people on the
market with MAs and experience.
