Unfortunately the majority of people I was working with didn't have rich parents, and were trying to get by on what they earned on the lowest rung of archaeology. The point I'm making is that they spent a lot of money to get their licences but then didn't get the jobs. Even if they were made up to Supervisor, most were expected to drive their own cars to the unit's HQ (at their own cost and time) and then drive to the Watching Brief in a hired vehicle (driving time not counted as working time).
