Well, after 20 years in archaeology I recently moved into broader Environmental Impact Assessment coordination/management, and I seem to be doing OK at it. I'm not filthy rich, though.
I also know others in EIA and other environmental fields who have degrees in archaeology, but have never practiced as archaeologists.
It is worth noting that in the multi-disciplinary world of EIA archaeology is a core discipline, and often punches above its weight in terms of influence over project decision-making. This influence originates with PPG 16 and, to a lesser extent, with the fact that English Heritage is quite powerful compared some of the other national environmental regulators.

Quote:quote:perhaps Mr Host (or any one else) could think of a way to canvas archaeology graduates who have used their archaeological knowledge base to go on to success in disciplines outside archaeology. Any one have any now super-anuated filthy rich friends that graduated from archaeology (gizza fiver!?)
