Spot on, 1man (shouldn't your name be 1person1desk these days?
). More or less what I have alluded to/droned on about.
It seems to me that we're all pretty much agreed on this theme, on different threads on various forums. Everyone seeems to agree that more and better fieldwork training is required, plus what I shall call CRM issues for what of a better word, but we have had a number of good suggestions how this should be done. My personal fave at present is for degrees to be more or less as they are, ok some more practical aspects, but with more hardcore practical stuff for those that wish/require it afterwards, maybe (ideally) in partnership with the industry. That way people can specialise - be academics, specialist fieldworkers, science types, boney types, pot persons or whatever, after a common grounding. But I'm open to better ideas...
Maybe a point for the BAJR conference???
Today, Bradford. Tomorrow, well, Bradford probably.
