At the simplest level, they can't go in unless they pay.As far as how the money is used, it pays of:
So they make money for people who work there.
There is no entrance fee to the Vatican. However, the museums do charge an admission.
Some museums pay minimum wage. Others pay a salary based rate. It would depend on what museum you would work at and where the museum is. The bigger museums would more then likely pay salary based wages.
Yes, most museums in New York offer discounts to college students. They even have days where they allow you to enter for free.
The biggest problem museums face today is funding. While the economy is in decline (or even a tentative incline) it is hard to get people to donate to museums, or to have visitors pay admission fees simply for the pleasure of wandering a museum. Another big problem that museums face today is technology. Many museums are digitizing their collections and putting them on their websites in an effort to increase access to them. This is a double-edged sword though, because if people can look online to view the same things they could view in person, many people don't see the point of actually going to the museum. Technology also poses a problem for museums in that modern people seek to use technology as often as they can. Museums are often viewed as low-tech, and thus don't appeal as widely to young people. When they rush to integrate technology in their exhibits, mistakes can be made.

A museum is where you can go see things of historical significance... although "significance" is vastly different for different people. Some small towns have museums about the history of the town, which is interesting to people who hold the town in some affection, and not so interesting to people who have never been there or who are trying to escape to a larger city. :) There are museums that have specific themes... art museums are common, for instance. There are also Railroad museums, Tractor museums, Doll museums, Military museums, and almost anything else you can name.
