I think the only thing that keeps some in the profession is the difficulty of changing career without starting completely afresh, and doing a new degree. Whatever the academics say about archaeology grads being very employable, that message hasn't got through to the hirers yet.
The only field open to ex-archaeologists (without retraining completely) seems to be teaching. I even know ex-archaeologists who tried teaching and came back!
