To what extent are they there as a catalyst for change? Are they prepared to fight for some sort of social justice? Do we have a responsibility to reach all sides of society in what we offer? That means working hard to bring in people who wouldn\u2019t normally visit. And leading on from that, should we have a workforce that reflects the community that are paying for us? People who work in museums sometimes say, \u2018I didn\u2019t train to be a social worker, I trained to be a curator.\u2019  And of course we don\u2019t want to go too far and lose the object in the middle. But the younger generation of curators is not happy for museums to be places where people come and worship in silence. They want them to be more like town halls, where debates happen, you can speak the unspeakable, and there are things going on.

After taking a museum-studies course they struggle to get any work at all. They take on more and more voluntary work, perhaps eventually getting a short-term contract post in, for example, documentation. They often end up in jobs they don\u2019t really want because they\u2019re the only ones available. When their first post comes to an end it takes them months to find anything else, and when they do it is often at a similar level. This continues for years, until they eventually are forced to give up on museum work and try a different sector, either because no more jobs are available, or because they have reached perhaps 30 years old, have not progressed and can see no prospect of earning a living wage in museums. In the worst cases, people effectively waste up to 10 years of their life failing to get a reasonable museum job and can become extremely upset, as shown by some of the comments recorded in appendix 2.","source":"“\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.museumsassociation.org\/download?id=13718\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EThe Tomorrow People: Entry to the museum workforce\u003C\/a\u003E“\u00a0- Maurice Davies, 2007"},{"blog_name":"museumsandstuff","id":32865551932,"post_url":"http:\/\/www.museumsandstuff.org\/post\/32865551932\/10-of-all-photos-ever-taken-were-shot-in-2011","slug":"10-of-all-photos-ever-taken-were-shot-in-2011","type":"quote","date":"2012-10-04 09:56:34 GMT","timestamp":1349344594,"state":"published","format":"html","reblog_key":"9ak2qEwT","tags":[],"short_url":"http:\/\/tmblr.co\/ZQ94OyUcy8Oy","highlighted":[],"note_count":588,"source_url":"http:\/\/randallphenning.tumblr.com\/post\/32189194399\/10-of-all-photos-ever-taken-were-shot-in-2011","source_title":"randallphenning","text":"10% of all photos ever taken\u003Cbr\/\u003E\nwere shot in 2011.","source":"Fortune magazine, September 24, 2012, page 166 (via \u003Ca class=\u0022tumblr_blog\u0022 href=\u0022http:\/\/randallphenning.tumblr.com\/\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Erandallphenning\u003C\/a\u003E)\u003Cbr\/\u003EThis is insane, such a staggering statistic.
