As a museum educator you will wear many hats.  Often, to initiate programs
that you and your museum find worthwhile you will need to seek out the
necessary financial resources.  Also, in any work environment an
understanding of basic budget principals is important.  After being a
museum educator for almost seven years I find that the little bit of
financial training I received on the undergraduate and graduate levels does
come in handy.  Remeber, in museum education the broader knowledge base you
have the better off you will be and the more joy and success you will
achieve.

Sincerely,
Hope McMath
Acting Director of Education
The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens

Subject:        Question for those in education departments

I am hoping to one day work in an education department of a children's or
science museum, and I have a question for all those who work in education
departments. I am a college student currently taking an accounting class
and I was wondering, what use will this particular class be to me in my
chosen career path?  I don't understand why I have to take it, because I am
going into museum education, not any type of management. Could someone
please enlighten me?
