I am in complete agreement with the invisable man i have been working in commercial archaeology for 4 years and it was no picnic getting that first job as i only had experience on uni digs- and those were only financed by saving my entire years holiday up for the job i had during uni.
The expectation that i should have voulantary experience made things really difficult and was i feel unfair. Those of us with crippling student debt and no parents or partners in a position to support us shouldnt be at a disadvantage and this is something that is often forgotten.
Volunteers in certain situations take jobs away from archaeologists.
