Ok , I have worked as a part time sales advisor for more than ?277 per week.
What are you talking about, we spend 3 years studying some of us went on to do masters (not necessarily completed) and diploma after that, we also have to add our own experience if worked on other fields (good team players and so on, as I could see from some of the posts on this site there are people who got jobs and they don?t even deserve to have them, and some like me sitting at home all day cooking soups, and varnishing their nails).
And is this ?277 before or after tax, why don?t we look at how much a newly graduated engineer earns and take it from there? They do similar work to us, don?t they? Why look at BAJAR job site it is wrong to start with as far as pay package concerns I mean. (out with the old and in with the new this is my motto?. Revolution is always the answer). To be continued?
When is the conference and where?

Back from hols, just catching up on developments over the last couple of weeks.
This thread seems to have gone off on a bit of a tangent. Looks like we have the following topics suggested so far (paraphrased from Troll and others):
1. The relationship between commercial competition and archaeological standards;
2. Health and Safety standards;
3. Public dissemination of archaeological results;
4. Pay levels - how high, how regulated;
5. Chartered or other recognised status for IFA to give it more teeth;
6. Students' perspective on careers, especially practical training and experience levels gained by graduation time.
I have previously suggested, on another thread, the following:
7. The roles of, and relationships between, the various branches of the profession, which (thinking in terms of interest-groups) I would now probably define as follows:
- field unit staff (non-management)
- field unit management
- specialists
- curators
- consultants
- academic teaching and research staff
- students
I have not included amateur groups here because we are talking about the profession. I am particularly interested in the roles of the parties involved in development-led archaeology and would be happy to contribute in that area.
If each of the 7 main topics equals a full session, that sounds like a rather full programme for a first conference, so we may need to combine and/or prioritise.

1man1desk-kin superb sire! Sounds like a recipe to me.Getting closer to designing leaflets/posters and fliers by the day.....
Judy, I wish I could send you a cyber hug mate. Of course you`re absolutely right. The 2006 conference will be the first chance we will all have had to get together and do something positive after years of being ignored by the puppeteers.Trust me-we all know where you`re coming from.Collectively, we can change things.Stick with us mate, this conference will be the start of something better.I promise.By the way-am sending you a huge cuddle (and a baseball bat to swing about-just don`t hit the telly).xxxxxxxxxxxx

does sound like a very good agenda we have coming together. I know I've said it on another thread, but not in here, I will be, if allowed, presenting a paper on issues of treatment of human remains, so that's another to add to the list

I have to start with troll and hug him back thank you and the TV is old any way.B)
I was just touching a bit of the truth. There are lots of subjects we need to bring to light in the coming conference, starting with people who employ wives, girlfriends and daughters and ending with people who don?t know what a ditch is, we have to identify what a field archaeologist is what are they suppose to do rather than what does the dig director wants them to do. I think we need a paper so strong and so articulate people will be talking about it for months afterward (we need photos to show on the day).
We also desperately need regulating body to work on the side of the archaeologist (a union of some sort) with teeth not just for show.
As for 1man 1 desk,
1- Public dissemination of archaeological results; is a very important subject, but I think lately with young archaeologists things have improved a bit, but you are right we need to touch on this subject in the conference.
2- The relationship between commercial competition and archaeological standards, (This is the point of the conference).
all your other points are very good they sound like a recipe for a good soup (forgive me I?m use to cooking now).
People by the station near where I live beg for money like this (20p please). So now I?m going to sign with this.
