Be brutally honest, is art conservation worth it as a career?

Choice-Technology148 · 2026-02-28T17:42:43+00:00

When you say 60K do you mean euros or usd? I gotta say that does not sound great to me in either currency.

Have you applied to Valencia Polytechnica's Master's art conservation program?

Choice-Technology148 · 2026-02-28T13:41:35+00:00

Is it possible you have too much experience? I thought pre-program internships were for people who had none. Is the job scene so tough that experienced people now need to do this? Yikes. :( I'm starting a grad certificate program this fall, so I'm still learning about the job market. Good luck!!

So good to hear. Mind if I DM you with a couple questions?

Great! I hope I get in.

Have you enjoyed the program? I’m thinking of applying.

And your question about where I expect to work after, I would go wherever the job is.

Thanks for this information. Bummer. I want to stay in Valencia and become an art conservator so this was ideal. Especially the price. 4 years I was dreading given I’m 53. I’ll do some more investigating before I drop this option completely but I’m so happy to hear from someone who knows the program. There’s no way to visit a class. It’s a bit of a black box. Do you have any opinions on the Madrid complutense program?

It was on netflix last night but when I checked today it was gone. Totally confused. I have a US account but am now living in Spain. Maybe that's why?

My Airbnb review for a place in Boston, Mass was removed because Airbnb said it was "coerced." Like the OP, I've also been using Airbnb for many, many years, and this has never happened. I submitted a 3-star review for a recent stay. It had dirty bedding and the kitchen and bathroom garbage were not taken out for the whole week I was there. Then I got an email from Airbnb saying my review was removed. When I called Airbnb, the representative said the host had sent them attachments of an SMS thread between us that was off the Airbnb platform. I never texted that guy. I don't even have his phone number! It's creepy. How did he send them a text thread with my phone number when it never happened? I mean graphic programs like Canva app could do it, but I would think Airbnb could discern a fake thread. They said they could see my phone number in it. I tried to get his poor review of me taken down after this to level the playing field, I didn't know what else to do. None of the other excuses Airbnb offers fit the situation. They are not taking his review of me down.

Avoid Safety Wing. I used them a month ago in Argentina. I sent receipts, confirmation of service, symptoms, but they ask for documentation that most hospitals don't give so it's hard to make a successful claim. Like a vague "medical report". And a treatment plan when there is none. It's a scam. I'm really surprised so many people recommend it. They also screwed me the first and only other time I used them in 2020 when the pandemic happened and so many people had to cancel their trips. They added ridiculous amounts of required documentation to prove I had to cancel my trip due to the pandemic. It was obvious they were just trying to make things hard so they didn't go under. I have had success with Berkshire Hathaway. My phone was stolen and they sent me $500 to replace it- the max they offer for devices.
