I've always said in my next incarnation I have
hopes of being an archeologist. Wonderful
occupation for a history buff!
Agreed, fascinating stuff.
I did it for 10 years. It was great fun but work is hard to come by, so to actually make a living doing it without being independently wealthy is very hard.
I still miss it and think perhaps I ought to go into teaching so I can still do digs and surveys in the summers. It was a great combination of cerebral and physical exercise.
