What jobs are available to someone with a DEGREE in Archaeology/Anthropology?
Not terribly many sadly and it depends rather on what field of archaeology you choose to enter – I mean there is a huge range of choice in that alone – greek, roman, mediaeval, egyptology, middle-eastern, aboriginal, pacific island = the list is endless and the training differs widely depending on your specialty and the university you attend. I have to say that none of them offers anything resembling the sort of money that you might get if you were to spend the same amount of time doing a degree in accounting, lol. But there are options like consultancy, continuing at university to obtain a doctorate with a view to a career in academia, joining the civil service, or working for English Heritage as an Inspector of Ancient Monuments, lots of options – just none of them pays well and they are generally pretty competetive … GOod luck in your studies though, it is a great field of study and I had a ball doing my degree!!
