You sound a tad bit unhappy with me, ...Dear Anon,<br /> You sound a tad bit unhappy with me, sorry to have angered you. I agree with most of what you say about conservation studies. There certainly are fine programs out there. I assure you I don't step out of my ability level when affecting restorations. I have on more than one occasion referred clients to other professionals with objects that are in need of more specialized attention than I am able to perform. The "hack" comment was a bit harsh, especially considering you haven't ever seen my work. I hope you find work soon and I hope your employer is sympathetic to your special needs.

Sorry, but these days there are programs in this country that provide graduate training in art conservation. Simply working with a "master conservator" doesn'tncut it pal. Students typically take hours of chemistry and other prerequisites coupled with years of museum work to gain entrance to one of these highly-competive programs. Spreading your "ye olde" perspective of conservation training does little to advance a profession that many of us have spent years advancing. Are you even a member or professional associate member of AIC? You're a hack.
