Been at all of the above. Actually, I'd be kinda chuffed to be found dead in a trench, trowel in hand on a sunny, frosty morning! (Not under a collapsed section I might add.) Beats slumping over at a keyboard. Anyway, we're not meant to be putting SCG off. Some people manage to hang on to their loved ones and have a home and a family too! Some travel at the start is good, lets you see different ways to do things, but not wanting to do the circuit forever does not made you a bad archaeologist. Just try it out until you get the hang of it, then look for a steadier niche. They really do exists. or you might develop itchy feet and then you're scuppered....
