Hi y'all
This piece has appeared in today's Independant in the careers advice section.

I think not bad for what it is. Mentions low pay and general lack of training provisions, but the up sides too. Nice to see something relatively balanced for a change!

It's nice to see an article reflecting the realities, for sure. And in the education section... it's all too easy to go through university these days and emerge with no idea about commercial archaeology at all - far too many universities fail to give their archaeology students a grounding in what a career in archaeology actually means!

Yes, a very good article all in all.
Sorry, had to laugh when I read this bit!

Sorry, can I start out my career from scratch again? I seem to have missed some key points somewhere...

I find people tend to be impressed... until I tell them about it!
I don't have a beard, a stripy jumper, or a tendency to drink vast quantities of beer... apparently I'm not a proper archaeologist

I do have a pair of hooped khaki short though!
