The question was put, isn't someone with an MA worth more than $7.25 an hour
to a museum.  The answer is, probably not if that's the prevailing wage, and
probably anyone who got the MA thinking of a higher salary was deceived
somewhere along the way.  It's just a fact of life.  Having an MA isn't a
ticket to a better job in this field -- it might be in teaching, etc., and
in some museums but not others.
