I, too, would be interested in any advice anyone has to offer on this subject (museum work) and I believe I may have posted something to that effect a long time ago. I do have a Masters in Ancient History but am now seemingly hopelessly stuck working as a library assistant. I used to like the work, but now it is becoming more and more a matter of technical expertise rather than academic background. I also could have held out for the bucks and continued on as a PC hardware technician instead of going to graduate school had that been the path I wanted my career (read with sarcasm) to go.
