Hi Rachel! Great video! You are so good at covering different topics and this is another good one. I am excited to say that I just got my first salaried position as a "Cultural Resources Specialist". I will be doing basically the same work that I did last year, only I will be paid better, with full benefits. I don't know all the details yet, but I am assuming that I will be a "crew chief", meaning that I will be in charge of a small crew (1-4 people) in the field. I only have a little over a year of experience, most of which is in the area I will be working in, but I do have a Master's Degree, which helps a lot when you want to move up the ladder. My salary will be $52, 500 a year. I live in Colorado Springs, CO, which is a very affordable place to live, so this is pretty good pay.

And things can always change without much warning....for instance, that job I mentioned was supposed to be for 5 years, but 5 months in, the Army (I was working for a contractor for the U.S. Army on Fort Carson) decided to go with a different company. The new contractors wanted me to either move further south and I wasn't able to do that. I have been working temp jobs ever since. I have several videos showing what I do in the field if you are interested.

I would say the majority of archaeologists work for archaeological companies; heritage bodies and councils in the UK (Cadw, Historic England) also employ archaeologists, councils have them to evaluate planning applications, not to do fieldwork. You do have sole traders/self employed archs but they will be experienced archs who went solo, you can't start out as a sole trader in my experience. I don't know much about Italy but they do have companies there as far as I know, you'd have to do more research to find out more. Thanks for watching!

From what I've heard museums are extremely competitive to get into and particularly right now with corona they will be struggling with funding due to a lack of visitor numbers and the first thing to be cut is jobs. They will also expect you to have more than an undergrad degree, and most people you're competing for jobs with will probably have PhDs as well. It's not to say it can't be done if you're passionate about it but it is a difficult road. Good luck with your degree and thanks for watching!

Hello, this video is extremely helpful! I was wondering, how would someone advance from a digger to a finds specialist? Would there be any advantages that would help someone get that job? Thank you!

@Inside_Archaeology

A degree that specialises in artefacts/finds certainly helps, but also it depends on where you end up and what kind of vacancies are available, so if they want to keep you on in between digs you could end up washing finds and get a start that way BUT the biggest thing is letting people know that's what you want. Managers who know that's your goal can advise you on the best course, you can take all the short courses and degrees you want but if the company you work for either doesn't have the need for a finds person or they don't know that is what you want you won't get anywhere; advocate for yourself. Volunteering in order to gain experience is also good but don't get stuck in giving people free work that they should be paying you for. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

Actually it is very easy for people from the EU to work in the UK in archaeology bt not easy for anyone else (including Canada and the US). I have a German passport which means I don't need a work visa, I would research the visas available to you as an Argentinian and go from there but based on my experience you cannot get a work visa to be a commercial archaeologist in the UK, we aren't paid enough to meet the threshold and none of the companies are registered sponsors.

Hello, I had a couple questions about Archaeology. I'm currently a high school senior and I will be attending UT Austin this Fall. I'm still unsure if I want to be an archaeologist, mainly because I feel like I don't have a great understanding of it. I do love history and geography and from your previous videos, I feel like this is a great job for me. Do archaeologists constantly have to search for jobs or can you find companies who will guarantee that you have a job even if they move you around to different places? Also how much time can you take off as an Archaeologist, or is your time off when a project is done? Thank you, Love your videos btw!

@Inside_Archaeology

4 жыл бұрын

It depends on where you are but you will always have to move around because you have to travel to wherever the archaeology is, in the UK you are usually employed on a temporary contract for the length of a project and if they have more work at the end they just carry you over to the next one until they run out of work, in Canada you usually work from spring thaw to winter frost and are unemployed for the winter until you're senior enough to get lab work. The rule of thumb is the more senior/experienced you are the more stable your employment. Time you can take off again depends, most companies will offer you the standard of any employer of the country you work in for paid holiday, so in the UK everyone gets about 28 days paid holiday automatically, though most companies will give you extra holiday the longer you work for them, my current employer gives you an extra day after 5 years and so on. If you want to take more holiday than what you're allocated you could always look into 'unpaid' holiday if you can afford it. If you're on a temp contract you can just wait til it's done then do what you want and find work when you're back, for example I wanted to go home to Canada for all of December when I wass on a temp contract on a long term project so I told the company, they ended my contract on November 30, I went home for a few weeks and then I started a new contract when I was back. BUT I work in the UK not the states so it might be different for you. Hope this helps thanks for watching!

Get a degree in anthropology with a focus in archaeology, or if you can find a Cultural Resources Management program, that is a good route too. It depends on if you are happy being a field archaeologist, or if you want to teach. If you want to teach at a college, you pretty much have to get a PhD in the US. You can also specialize in different areas. I recommend taking some GIS classes if you are technology-minded. Experience in GIS helps a lot and you can even get hired for non-archaeological jobs. I also recommend finding a local archaeology society and join. They usually offer monthly lectures that can be extremely interesting, field trips, and opportunities to volunteer for digs and surveys that will give you a head start on your experience. You will also meet other people working in the profession and I received my first scholarship from my local chapter.

I am 24 and I know one thing is that passion is good but spending money on courses which offers you few options and more difficulties sometimes makes you feel bad. Have a degree which feeds you because the money spend on a degree where at the end you do not get fruitful returns is so damn frustrating. When we are 18, we find passion to be exciting but as you progress the hunger for economic stability comes. And interest and passion is different. Take only when you cannot stay without it.
