I don't have much choice who I am training, they just get sent to me. None are archaeology graduates, although one is in the second year of their archaeology degree course. I don't think that a having a degree is any guide to whether that person (to quote Tool) 'will have a natural affinity for digging in the dirt'. I have met graduates who are great diggers, I have met graduates who think they know it all because they supervised the first years on the university training dig, I have met graduates who dislike the physical side of being a digger etc. I have met some non graduates who have that natural affinity for digging and also many who just don't get it etc. If that person wants to learn and work hard then that is all that I am fussed about.
