I think Ben that there are troubles in many other professions outside of archaeology. Forestry Comission, English Nature etc etc are all cutting back and unless there is a sudden sea change (literally) that propels environmental protection to a priority position amongst private companies, there aint much future in pursuing that route.
Fact is that most so called alternative 'jobs' out there are of the kind that were once filled by school leavers, never mind graduates except they are now filled by the upper management tier of the 'labouring' classes. I don't really see you in that kind of role...... Academic and professional achievement, not just in archaeology but across the board in many professions, is being dumbed down in the belief it will reduce costs....

With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
