The fantastic, terrifying and amusing whenyouworkatamuseum.com asked it's readers to help with advice for those thinking about a career in musuems, and similar venues. The response was pretty huge, and the result is a crowd sourced and distilled set of wisdom aimed at helping anyone pondering a route into museums.
Some of it may seem obvious, but some of it does provoke thought and reflects the modern world of museums, which is now further away from the traditional idea of "university, study, become an expert in your field, become a curator".
See the list for yourself at the link below, and spread the word to those thinking about it.
