I think there may be a lot of diggers who have been working in other areas completely unrelated to archaeology and are now finding it hard to return to an industry that pays so poorly and the contracts are often very short. I'm working in social housing now, but I miss the world of commercial archaeology so much. Not simply the work and all the challenges that presented but also unique working environment of a professional dig. . . . Sighs! :face-crying:

At last there maybe a chance to earn more than a pittance and actually have a life as opposed to an existence.........

When was that not the case Dino? We're both old enough to have survived several economic boom & bust cycles. They come, they go, the world still turns. Such is capitalism. It's not the end of all things, just a period of adaptation each time for us ants. Chin up, chap! Good times are just around the corner, pack up yer troubles, there'll be bluebirds over, etc.
Permanent local government archaeology jobs (regardless of how long that permanence actually lasts) is a reason to be cheerful!
