I have found that their are very few employers in the museum and
academic field which are willing to "draft" someone out of college.
The majority of positions require 3-5 years experience, and with 1
year in the museum field and a semester in academia it is hard even to
get interviews. On the other hand I am told Im over-qualified for most
positions in the real world:).

It seems that the MA traps a person in the netherworld betwen
overqualification and potential PhD study.
