Oi, that's my Masters you are dissing
I have to say that ArcGIS got so far up my goat (especially trying to install it on stand alone machines) that I ended up writing my own GIS suite. I'm now the world's leading expert in the use of this system, a system that is excellent for its intended purpose, however the transferability of this skill set is about zero :face-rain:
On the other hand, people i know have used ArcGIS for their Masters and although they didn't get employed in achaeology with it, they found work elsewhere using that skillset quite easily.
Spose I ought to brush up on it a bit while I'm 'resting between roles'.
