ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on concepts discussed in this book. Applicants may seek to maintain a sense of their own freedom by investing personal dispositions into their career choice, thereby reinforcing the idea that they chose their own path. The study of the individuals who invest in such careers and of what they invest in them could be fruitfully extended by analyzing the conditions for actually accessing these positions. In this study, people evidenced the combination of a strict social and educational selection beginning with the applications to specialized training programmes; it is likely that a similar selection is at work after the aspiring cultural manager’s graduate. The strong rise of cultural management training programmes may not constitute a response to a pre-established need for labour of corresponding scope. This book applied this general agenda to a specific type of vocation that particularly resides in the imprecise definition of the positions targeted.
