The people on the show Antique Roadshow that appraise the antiques----What is their profession and what would you go to school for to become one.

Also I don't know if any of you watch Charmed but in the first couple seasons when Shannon Dougherty was on, Pru had a job like this too. I am just interested in the profession, whatever it is so if you have any help to give I'd love to hear it.

You can find out more about being a certified appraiser at the American Society of Appraisers: http://www.appraisers.org/ASAHome.aspx

A related field would be curator or archivist. You can find out more at the US Department of Labor Occupational Handbook website: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos065.htm

Archivists, curators, and museum technicians work for museums, governments, zoos, colleges and universities, corporations, and other institutions that require experts to preserve important records and artifacts. These workers preserve important objects and documents, including works of art, transcripts of meetings, photographs, coins and stamps, and historic objects.
