I have a certain amount of empathy with a number of people in this thread. I am currently unemployed and living at home, attempting desperately to gain some experience through voluntary work. Luckily, I am not a 'digger' archaeologist, but intend to specialise into the built heritage side of things a little more, building on a recent MA from York. The general feeling I get is that this side of things is in slightly better shape in terms of future prospects. Even so experience is still the key, and it's unbelievably frustrating that companies are less willing to take on the younger, more enthusiastic people out here who perhaps could do with a bit of training. But, I will persevere. I'm sure something will come up. :face-approve:
