I suppose a more positive spin on it than being desperate to remain in the profession or loving it so much that it's difficult to imagine or stand doing something else would be the notion that you (and any number of others) have invested a large amount of time and energy getting experienced/good/competent. The latter perhaps sounds more positive than the former. If I were looking for an employee 'I'm desperate to be/to remain an archaeologist' would sound like a licence to exploit! 'I've invested the time and got lots of experience' sounds like something useful. Perhaps too many employees look for the former
and the words grandmothers and eggs are probably springing to mind.
