Oh gosh...it has crossed my mind at times that, instead of spending the
daily hours I do researching museum issues, etc., that this time would be better
spent combing personal ads to find a husband that could really support me! And
I'm not altogether just being facetious, I believe this to be a fact!

it,
but it's my second career, "supported" by my first. Many of the
museum
studies gradates I know are either under-employed or not even in the
field,
or are working in very low-pay jobs, really supported by their
spouses.
That's the facts.
