But I don't want to be the guy in 20 years making the same money I am now, but with a bad back and a worse attitude.

But being part of a secret siblinghood of capable people who are wise in the ways of museum work is pretty awesome.
Sysiphus, pushing a boulder up a hill, getting crushed by it as it rolls back down, and then starting over.
You're good at building things, but how do you translate that into a career?
No unions, or if you have a union it may not help.
But then what? You'd make more money in other trades. There's nowhere to go.
You're thorough, attentive, fast, agile, meticulous.
Being a preparator feels like a trap. You love it, hate it, get good at it, and all an outsider sees is somebody touching up the baseboard.
Tfw you're working on an outrageously expensive exhibition component & you & everyone else who sees it knows it's a giant turd.

We have to ask X department before we can do that. #MuseumSwearJar

"It's a small project... We'll keep it simple and it won't take much staff time, right?" #MuseumSwearJar

We need offsite storage for our #MuseumSwearJar (s).
We need to renovate the prep shop to have room for the #museumswearjar
Some of us might eventually get raises but we will all definitely get cuts to our benefits starting now. #pieintheskywhenyoudie
