I'm close (well 5 years to go) to retirement and I've just graduated. It took a long time - over 10 years - but I made it. I was employed as an archaeologist for most of those 10 years but was made redundant in the great cull of 2008. Hasn't stopped me though - I'm involved in my local group and still really into my thing (Finds). Enjoy your degree course and get the most out of it that you can. Stay positive, make contacts and enjoy!
