Laura,

I'm sure you'll understand the data protection requirements of such a
survey, but I've extracted the data I think will be helpful. It's just
employers and posts (a bit raw), but it ought to give a bit of a picture of
our ex-students' first destination employment. As you will see, most are
museum jobs, though some did not go straight into the profession and some
may never have intended to be curators and have gone onto research,
teaching, etc.:
