This also brings us squarely back to the crux of the argument regarding what the 'fair' salary should be. On one hand we are comparing salaries in (contract) archaeology with those in other graduate professions and suggesting that a drastic pay rise is necessary. However, here some of us are saying that the actual degree does not equip people to carry out the job in the field without extensive further training.
Why should we expect contractors to pay average graduate salaries to people who are not up to the job when they graduate - clients would not be too amused by this. Perhaps we should should not be comparing salaries in contract archaeology with average graduate rates unless we are sure that graduates are essential for what we do.
