which is more important, the archaeology or how much we get paid? well i think inspite of all our moaning (of which i do on a regular basis) we would not be in this job if we did not love it enough that we were willing to take a battering on the financial front. i was informed recantly by a manager at lare supermarket chain that if i so wished i could walk into a deputy manager role on 18k and after 4 months training that would jump straight to 20k and then the sky was the limit. was i tempted with the offer? well of course i was when standing in selfridges drooling over the most beautiful Gucci hand bag i had ever seen. but the i realised that no ammount of money could tempt me to don a polyester suit and check that there were the right number of cans of beans on the shelf for a living.
problem is i enjoy my job and i dont actually know many other who could say the same.
however i do still question my loyalty when my LITTLE sister left shool at 16, bummed around for a bit, trained as a hair dresser and now earns around 25k, thats 9k more than me....how depressing!
