In my opinion this 'Dig to Live Live to Dig' view has been a major factor in maintaining low pay and the exploitation of archaeologists. It is a job not a religion.
The cause, of course, is to save as much archaeology as possible before it is destroyed by plough or 360. Otherwise why do archaeology? Surely if someone isn't interested in archaeology they'd be better off working at a bank or in IT?
