"Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage."
Niccolo Machiavelli
Due to severe tiredness I read that as 'get them bikini jobs coming in'.... my blood pressure has now returned to normal....
On Dr Wardle's last post - I agree that archaeologists need to be aware that they are not automatically skilled in other 'heritage' posts. Other 'heritage professionals' also need to be aware that they do not know much about archaeology either (in many cases) as well. As curator kid said, this lumping together is being pushed forward by bodies such as EH. I'm not sure I agree with it.
Having said that, I'm working in a 'related field' at the moment, utilising the skills that I've developed in archaeology but having to develop the knowledge to go with them. Skills are quite often very transferrable, knowledge isn't so much.
