If I insinuated that a person is morally wrong by making money then I take it back, but I do feel strongly on this ..... everyone has a right to make money and yes archaeologists should start to market themselves as valued professionals who are worth the money .... I just feel that archaeology is about so much more than financial benefit, and we're obsessed with money because the vast majority of us aren't paid what we are worth. I'm happy with my lot ... now .... but I spent a lot of time being unhappy and was quite close to doing something else, but the archaeology I really enjoy is that which occupies my spare time, and it took me bloomin ages to realise this ....

Totally agree
