It's a tough life. Living out of your car, wondering when you will be let go because you lost the next contract to another company, having to have at least a graduate degree to make burger-flipping wages.

I had fun doing it, but it not something I'd encourage others to go into unless they were wealthy or had a source of income that was not tied to being employeed.

Still, I miss tromping around the desert at times.

LOL - I kind of figured that! Have worked a couple of contracts myself, more as the lab technician who got to help the field crew every now and again, but not much. Also happen to live in probably the worst archaeological spot in the US (at least as far as potential sites) - the Texas Gulf Coast. When the Karankawa were your basic hunter/gatherer nomads and the other tribes only seasoned in the area for brief periods, theres little to get excited about until you start hitting historical archaeology.

Know anything about working in a museum??? LOL LOL LOL
