All I'd say to this is paraphrase one of my GCSE tutors from a long time ago - you can either set yourself a target job (in this particular discussion) and then try and get every qualification you need on the way to get you to that job, or you can get the qualifications you are interested in and then see where you end up... There do seem to be more jobs advertised in BAJR than there have been for a while, and presumably there will be some opportunities coming up along the HS2 line at some point in the not too dim and distant future (for example). Not sure where you are based, but you might want to contact your local HER/County Archaeologist-types and see if htey might tell you who is doing work in your area - even 1 or 2 man bands might want a spare shovel wielder for intermittent work (not ideal I know, but it might get you a few months of fieldwork experience that you can then put on you CV for better/longer contract work for bigger units).
Just a thought and good luck.
