As someone who is at the very beginning of pursuing a career in museums,
I'm getting very discouraged by all this talk of low pay, no respect, and
limited job opportunities. What I want to know is, is it worth it?  Is it
worth it to sink myself deeper into debt with more loans for grad
schools, only to end up waiting tables until I find some low-paying
internship, and then maybe someday land a lucrative $25,000/year job?
I'd really like to hear from voices of experience.
Thanks!
