I have to agree with Dan. There are too many programs and not enough jobs, yet our colleges and universities still offer these programs and spit out graduates every fall and spring. It is very deceiving, and prospective students should ask these institutions for hard data on what their placement percentages are before applying/considering a career in this sector.

We will not see any change until museums stop requiring higher degrees for certain positions.
