5 years time.....

[RedEarth]

This thread appears to have neatly suggested why the question 'what do you see yourself doing in 5 years time' is, for an archaeologist, only ever likely to be answered with 'trying to cling on for dear life', with two presumably quite experience people apparently saying that working for very little is OK and complaining every time your are royally shafted is whinging (unless I am very much mistaken). No, no, no. Complain every time, and to someone who can do something about it not just in the pub, and do not accept shit wages and even shitter conditions. Every time you do you are holing the boat that everyone sails in. Perhaps the question should be 'what do you see yourself doing for the rest of your career?' If the answer is 'being regularly screwed over but coming back for more' then I'm not sure what the point is.
