In some aspects yes when I started my degree I had a feeling archaeology as with many professions wasn't doing very well. However, just when I started my degree I was in a position where I hated the job I was doin, was starting to realize it and my future plans were going nowhere and so decided to jack it all in and go to uni. For me I decided very rapidly archaeology, well bio-archaeology to be precise, was the course to study because I love archaeology. I'm a mature student and came at archaeology aged about 23/24 years old with no A levels to speak off but having always had a love for it and with a few weeks digging experiance here and there. Now I'm 26yrs old, got bout 4 months digging experiance behind me and a years mixed placement bagged up to. I'd like to think someone out there will employ me, but when that will be is anyone's guess, I just hope its soon because I'm hungry to work now lol.
