This is just my opinion so take it as you will, but we as a profession need to make a push for some type of qualitative standard out there. I mean, archivists have a test, why doesn't the museum field? You don't have to take the test to work in the field, but if you do then you know you have met a certain level/qualification. This would help show future employers and the rest of the non-museum world, that we really do know what we are doing. But like I said, that is just my opinion.
