I would have to echo trowelmonkeys sentiments although i was disappointed at the time, i have to admit not getting the funding for an ma turned out to be a huge advantage. I took two years out digging on the circuit and the experience was a massive eye opener - i will never unquestioningly accept the findings of a report again!
NOt only did it give me chance to do a few pipelines to save up to pay my fees, but it gave me the contacts and experience that allowed me to work in archaeology while i did my MA.
Just keep trying - you've unfortunately graduated at a pretty bad time but it wont last forever, I got hold of the current archaeology list of archaeological units, cross referenced it with BAJR units list and sent every company a cv. Its time consuming but it works - one time is all you need to get you on your way!
Make sure that if all youve got is enthusiasm it shows through - try not to get too down. Big hugs and let us know when you find a job :face-approve:
