Our museum may be getting an intern next year and I'm wondering about
others' experiences of how staff and interns "get along."  The requirements
for a tour guide at our museum are not great; hopefully one enjoys "working
with the public" and has at least a high school diploma, but this isn't
necessary.  (I myself have a masters in natural resources, with an emphasis
in environmental interpretation and was told when I interviewed that I was
"overqualified.")  An intern who would be majoring in some aspect of the
museum field would obviously be more knowledgeable, and I wonder if this
might not create friction between him/her and the staff.
