I hope that roywhiting is wrong.
I just finsihed my Masters' and am about to start work with a relatively small unit. I've done plenty of fieldwork before, but all research digs/survey for universities. I expect to hit the ground running, and have an intense few weeks. I can learn fast, but I'm probably not up to the intricacies of fiendish urban deposits quite yet. i didn't join one of the superunits becuse they didn't want to hire me (though I expect this to change soon). In my quite recent experience at two major universities, you don't get to learn much about fieldwork if you don't make it happen. Its quite possible to do plenty of the stuff, and if you don't ask the right people the right questions, you're never going to understand whats really going on.
