So many people I know who came out of university with goos archaeology degrees have been put of a going into field work because of the low pay and lack of decent contracts. All of them love field work and would give anything to do it, but the amount of debt they are in from university combined with the low pay means that they are forced into finding work that will offer them security.
I have noticed a decreasing trent in the amount of students doing archaeology. Even whilst I was at univeristy there were less and less first year students every year.
The government oftern justify the massive amount of money that students have to pay by saying that graduates are more or less guaranteed well payed jobs when they leave university...:face-confused: we all know that isn't true..
