More to the point, Gilraen, how would you feel about tendering against a company which can put 10 interns in the field to do the excavation, and charge them to the client AND be collecting from the government for employing them. if something like this were advertised, you'd probably get people with some experience going for it; its probably more interesting than the dole. It sounds like a highly profitable way to run a business.
I find the comments that people graduating should pay no attention to the economy and all pile into archaeology like they have done in the past a bit odd. It sounds like the tactics of the lemming to me. There are still lots of experienced archaeologists out there, they are just out of work. When the jobs come back, so will they.
And what does the IfA say?
