Hmm, missed this one before. I also do not see how students can be expected to know what they really want while doing their first degree. It's only at the post-grad level that you start to specialise and I am inclined to say that that is how it should stay. But the first degree really does need to make students aware of their options, and that is where my thoughts expressed on the other thread fit in. If commercial archaeologists are engaged in the academic world, they can help to make students aware and the students can then make an informed decision. On the other hand, universities seem to be uniformly useless at providing career advice so I hold out little hope at the moment.
