I can't think of that many other jobs in which you get a sense of 'adulation' from the general public... "Oh, wow! I wish I could do that!" or "what a fantastic job" sort of thing. Makes it worthwhile when I hear that (even when I/we know just how crappy the job can really be)
(ok... maybe saving baby dolphins and/or otters, arctic explorer or wildlife cameraman would get more wows, but archaeology is really up there)
