That is about what we are paying our Curator of Education. We're a two person staff, about 10,000 visitors a year and in the Chicago area. I suspect, however, that if our Curator did not already own a home (and probably has other sources of income) she couldn't afford to work here. Of course I can't afford to work here just on my salary alone :) Good luck, janice Janice Klein Director Mitchell Museum of the American Indian, Kendall College [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thursday, August 03, 2000 7:06 PM Subject: unspoken rule of the list serve?
