Err? Ever been on the dole yourself? I presume that you are not refering to the (in your opinion) 'brain dead morons' who were dragged off the dole to take part in the MSC scheme in the 80s. Some probably werent the sharpest tools in the box, or even particularlly interested in archaeology, but many of those who were have gone on to become some of the best archaeologists I've worked with.
As far as degrees go, like Destroyer, I think that a degree has its uses but shouldn't be seen as essential for field archaeology. After all, most people learn sweet f.a. about field practice at university. I speak from years of experience as a supervisor, dealing with graduates who didn't know how to draw sections but who knew better than I did about where to put them.
