I noticed a museum offering an "internship" for a nominal stipend
recently. It seems to me that if museum professionals do not value the
work involved (the internship was educational and supervisory) more, then
the people who fund museums will decide that all work therein can be
done by volunteers and interns. That will really make the bean-counters
happy.
