And did I mention student loan?But one of the selling points of the student loan, is that many people (archaeological or not) will never earn enough to reach the repayment threshold. OK for those taking it out these days, where anything remaining is wiped out after 30 years (until the government decide to change the terms and conditions so they can sell off the loan book to a commercial enterprise of course). I'm likely to carry mine to the grave, whether or not I ever get paid to do commercial archaeology.
Now I think that definitely deserves a :face-topic: notice!
