Back on track.
Bodgers way of speaking is like his writing I have been told. What comes out is perhaps in need of subtitles.
What you need to do is apply and get the commercial experience. and realise that work will be where you can get it at first.
I spent years working in both the Middle East and Europe/UK and it was great. in fact I would contend that if you can dig a mudbrick site in 40 deg C with a team of 10 workers, then an evaluation of a mediaval site in England becomes a piece of piddle. :face-approve:
You don't need more qualifications. you need to get a job. I think you are keen ( or you would not be here!) The Egyptology is a red herring. you got a degree, and the current debate is whether that is a suitable entry into field archaeology - not really. seems to be the consensus. But you were not to know. and hey... it is in the past.
If you did Egyptology to become an Egyptologist, then that is up to you... Though it is a particularly difficult field to enter without - shall we say introductions and patronage.
Use your skills. get some commercial experience, and spend winter in the middle east. Worked for me
Can you dig?
Can you use a Total Station?
Can you Drive
Do you have a CSCS card.
that is basically it. Good Luck
