I would personally recommend embracing the changes. Navigating different areas of the profession will empower you with a variety of skills and prevent repetition, stagnation, and boredom (a common theme with a lot of jobs). Learn from your experiences (even if it's not where you'd ideally like to be) and take those skills and look to apply them in future endeavors. Maybe you are navigating great opportunities at the moment that will not only beef up your CV, but will lead to other opportunities where you do get to call more of the shots. Perhaps your own business? Firm? Museum?

Ha not sure if I'd ever be up for my own business but thanks for the confidence! I'm definitely enjoying the marketing side of things and seeing how a completely different sector works but I'd be lying if I didn't say I miss archaeology. Thanks for the advice and for watching!

I've wanted to work in archeology for the longest time. I just found your channel & you've helped so much. Thank you for making these vids!

These videos are great because the energy is here and it makes me feel like I can get a career in archeology. I won't do archeology as career but I do little history research from time to time. you're definitely an archeologist because you experienced it professionally. and even if you don't do it now or as often as you used to, you've been about it.

Sounds nice. Never stop learning and since you are volunteering already sounds like you will not be going to far from the real aspects you love about the profession. Always consider yourself an archaeologist cause you put in the work just keep in touch with and never stop learning you may just need this time to fuel your finances and get anther skill set and perspective good luck and hope to see you soon.

Hi,love your video! I have MA degree in archaeology but I don’t enjoy field work as much as education and popularisation of it (I have field work and museum work experience and I also worked as a tourist guide,all during university + intership). I am from a very tourist region and besides my mother tongue I speak English and I understand Spanish and Italian. Do you have any recommendations of where could I get more education on similar subjects and what kind of jobs would you recommend? Thank you❤️

You might want to look into teaching or community archaeology, and archaeological tourism is a thing (look up DigVentures they do this) but I don't know how big of an industry it is. Community archaeology does invovle some field work usually but is more about connecting with local groups and isn't as demanding as commercial. Not sure about getting more education unless you want another degree but you could look into short courses or do some independent CPD through reading. You'd be best contacting people who work in the areas you're interested in and seeing if they can give you more tailored advice. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

I want to be an archeologist that can travel but i know nothing right know cause i am only starting in senior high. Is it possible that i can travel a lot by being an archeologist????

@Inside_Archaeology

Depends on what you mean by travel a lot and how you plan on funding said travel. I traveled to Jordan in the Middle East 3 years in a row to excavate during my undergrad, I also went to Bulgaria during my Masters and as a working archaeologist I've traveled a fair bit around the UK. Jordan and Bulgaria I had to pay to attend out of my own pocket and it was a couple thousand dollars each time (Bulgaria was cheaper because it was a shorter season but it wasn't free). Traveling for work I got paid, which is great, but we were working 8 to 4:30 most days and home on the weekends which doesn't give you much time to see the sights. Outside of digging you could also travel to attend conferences all over the world but again that costs money. Generally most academic/university archaeologists have a specialist area or site so they would travel there probably once a year to dig. As far as I know there aren't any archaeologists who get paid to travel all over the world and dig, but you could certainly do that if you have lots of money to bankroll you and you don't care about getting paid. Thanks for watching!

Hi I’m currently doing an undergrad in biomedical sciences but I’m looking at doing a masters in archaeology specifically bioarchaeology. I’m wondering if there are many career options with more of a focus on analysis in the lab rather than field work? Also will not having an undergrad in archeology affect my career options at all? Or does having an MSci in archaeology sort of out-weigh that? Sorry for the long winded question I only recently became interested in archaeology and your videos are very interesting! :)

@Inside_Archaeology

If you have a masters in archaeology I think that would make up for not having an undergrad. I don't have much experience with labs, while they exist they are few and far between and, as far as I'm aware, are mostly based at universities. So for example you could perhaps be a lab tech or get a PhD and work as a post-doc researcher at a university with a lab. Outside of the university settings you might be able to find a job at a lab but you probably wouldn't be working only on archeological material as I don't think we get enough analysed to justify a lab ONLY offering archaeological services. Your best bet is to contact any Masters programs you're interested in and asking if they have a lab or a prof who does radiocarbon/stable isotope stuff that you could speak to about career options. I often find people are more than willing to answer a few questions via email, especially if you're a prospective student. Hope this helps thanks for watching!

I would steer clear of any arch field. Pay is terrible. In fact, archaeology requires the most education, but provides the lowest pay. Go into a true STEM profession.

im thinking of studying archaeology but digging and field work isnt something im really interested in. are there any archaeologists like this?

@Inside_Archaeology

The fieldwork is a pretty essential part of being an archaeologist; being there and doing it helps you a lot in understanding our processes/methodologies, so I wouldn't knock it until you try it. There are people in the heritage sphere that don't do fieldwork, like language specialists, illustrators, historians, conservators, museum curators, and post-excavation specialists but by and large archaeologists are people who have worked in the field doing excavations. You can still study archaeology without having to become an archaeologist, plenty of people go on to be history teachers and enter other professions as well. Thanks for watching!

Can I ask why it is determined particularly by British archeology?

Why is what determined by British archaeology?

I know this is an older video, but if you still want the occasional spot of field work in scotland, I'd suggest reaching out to GUARD (if you haven't already) I did a project as a student lead with them in 2017 that lasted 11 days, and was a volunteer driven program. I dont think any vollunteers paid for it, as it was done in conjunction with the local heritage society, and it was flexible (some people were only there for a few days). They may be able to point you towards additional volunteer projects you could assist on with them in your spare time. Im nkt sure how active they are with community projects these days, but its worth a shot.

I have actually worked for GUARD several times as a commercial archaeologist. I think they are still active with some community stuff but back when I posted this I was working for one of their competitors in a non-field role. I've been on a few volunteer/community run projects and while they're great they are a bit few and far between and there's not much going on in my local area. Thanks for the suggestion though I'll keep it in mind.

There isn't any one best company, it depends on where in the country you're based, what kind of job you're applying for, what things matter to you in your job (salary, project type, training, advancement opportunities, good management). Glassdor isn't widely used, the best thing is to try adn find someone who worked there and seeing what they say, although this might be very biased towards/against the company so should always be taken with a grain of salt.
