Sounds like you've pretty much made up your mind on that one, thanks on everyone else's behalf. Surely every job can lead to a career, that is how they work isn't it? I'm not sure, having only ever been an archaeologist I've therefore probably got no sensible bench mark to compare with. The sports person might go on to become a team coach, then manager; the singer a producer and record label owner; the door to door salesman, the manager of a door to door sales company; the drug dealer and prostitute... er, pimp and brothel owner? Anyway, all of these jobs have the potential for career 'progress' as it might be called, as I said I've no idea, I'm an archaeologist and such ideas are apparently foreign to them. Or are they? Perhaps Dino is right, perhaps it is a generational thing, but between those with some aspiration and those who only want to be real manly archaeologists, out playing with the real men on site (not worrying about 9-5 and presumably therefore working the extra hours for free, yay!), and not thinking about their future and so condemning everyone else at the same time. Name and shame indeed.
