My heart bleeds Troll, I used to do 'your job' 5 years ago, when things were similar if not worse. There's nothing particularly noble about wanting to be a site assistant forever, it just shows a regrettable lack of ambition on your part. It is possible to be a field archaeologist and earn more than 12-13K, still get your hands dirty, enjoy what you do and stick with it for 8 years plus. Oh, and I wasn't laughing at your share in our general misfortune if you check carefully.... Well here's the paragraph again:
"Abstaining from a survey because of some (unspecified) critical stance, and then criticising that survey for being unrepresentative because it doesn't include you and other similarly principled individuals is bizarre, nonsensical and gave me a good chuckle. Thanks."
Just to re-reiterate, if you don't participate in a survey it won't represent you, so who are you criticising here. If a survey is unrepresentative because of the apathetic or antipathetic - these are the parties at fault. Not the people who have gone to the trouble of setting up the survey and presenting its results. I give up. :face-topic:
