As a former research scientist, I have followed this discussion with great
interest, especially the parallel between this discussion and the discussion
among young and not-so-young scientists, the young finding a very tight job
market after they've completed training, and the older finding their
experience and high qualifications pricing them out of the market.  The issue
 of whether the system should be producing more scientists than it could
use came up and was immediately followed by a discussion of what you
 could do with a science degree if you stopped being a research or academic
scientist.
     Sooooo... what do you do with a museum degree if you don't work at a
museum?
