Does your brave new world therefore include a role for the IfA or an equivalent body?
Most big construction firms have absolutely no idea what the h*** IFA is, so no, I wouldn't include that amongst useful things to have on a company CV. Membership of organisations they've heard of like the IEMA is far more likely to impress. The trough that archaeological companies are by-and-large trying to feed out of is not an archaeological one, so learning to operate in the big bad non-archaeological world where we are just another bunch of peripheral subcontractors might be a good idea? :face-stir:
