If you're a potential student of museum-related fields, you might have gathered by now that it's a tough one. Questionable remuneration, fast-disappearing budgets, social invisibility, a limited number of permanent jobs, and ironically high barriers to entry are some of the main complaints. So if you know all this and you still want to do this because you love the field, then you deserve a star and a digital certificate (because there's no budget to print you a physical one and also #sustainability). We recognise your efforts and applaud your determination! 👏👏👏 And recommend you also get business and marketing skills because private practice may become necessary. . . . _______ Follow for more conservation memes. ❤️ . . . .

We had company yesterday! Two emerging conservators who went through the @fleming_heritage_conservation program came to see the shop and to look through some of my historic book models. Thanks for the visit Patricia and Garnet, hope you’ll come back again soon. #emergingconservator #bookconservation #historicbookmodels #bookbinding #bookarts (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoHt3wWud2S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
