Those of us in the field are not be insensitive to job searcher's need for money to attend conferences. Believe me, we were in the same boat. I remember clearly scraping together the money to go to my first Virginia Association of Museums conference, which was actually a requirement for my graduate degree. Many of the regional museum associations - and I know Vanda, that MPMA does - offer scholarships to attend meetings. Many of the SPC's also do so. At any rate, join your regional association - they have jobs newsletters - e.g. MPMA is monthly, and a student membership is $15! Vanda - I think there is still time to apply for a scholarship to the Oct. MPMA meeting.

By the way, all four of my jobs came from replying to AVISO ads - so at least some of them must be for real! Kathrine Walker, Beach Museum of Art
