You all seem to be overlooking the truism that the vast majority of archaeology graduates generated by the excessive number of archaeology courses us taxpayers (yes, that includes you, assuming you're working) are expected to fund, don't then go into archaeology-related careers, ergo an archaeology degree is clearly a transferrable qualification. Think the main problem is that, if having graduated you then spend years playing in the mud, you are then regarded by most potential non-archaeology employers as long-haired hippy wasters without the drive to have gone into a 'proper' career with the single-minded targets of a nice car, a Barratt home and 2.4 kids....sad but true.... :face-stir:
