I know I could be creating some real problems for myself but it is only a month contract to start with and thought I'd give it a try. I know a few people who work for them and have done so for years without problems. You just need a good accountant. I am loath to leave archaeology as it is where I want to work. I gave up a career (in accountancy) to do this so I am taking the risk. I would love a steady job in a local unit but this appears to be impossible. If nothing else it would stop units for saying things like "so essentially you're a circuit digger (with a snear in their voice)" when applying for work. As if any of us are in this situation by choice
