Another thing is to think about other alternatives. I no longer work in a museum (which I did for 7 years -- in different museums) and now work for my local Girl Scout Council coordinating programs with vendors. I now work with A LOT of museums as well as other types of sites, programs and facilities. I love what I do, enjoy going to work -- my museum programming experience is a great help for what I do. It's also nice because I really get a broad sense of what is going on in the museums and historic sites in my area, and can help them shape education programs. ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
