“a career in the field” -sorry mum but there probably is no such thing as a career to be had in the field. Some at best spend a few years there. Some survive a decade or so but they have basically wasted their lives or are such sad cases it does not matter that much. It might be worth a look at for a year or so but make sure that you move on. I guarantee that it can only be up. CBA employ about 20 people or so. Not sure what they do but don’t think any of it can be called a career. Have noticed that if you are interested in working in the young archaeologists club is good if you are female and your name ends in a i or a y.
