: Hi Mark,
: Yes, I work in the field (ha ha). Currently doing some rather mundane kinda-academic stuff in the Great American Heartland. I guess I should consider myself lucky to do it, it is something I love; but even Indy would be hard-pressed to battle some of the bureacratic madness involved. Hope to return to work abroad before I get old enough to have an eyepatch...

I'd love to do that... I'm gonna go for it after I save up for another degree. For some reason people think archaeology is boring unless you have alien artifacts or Indiana Jones, but it's just such a cool field without all that. The only drawback is it doesn't pay much, but if you love your work who cares, right?

Cheers!
Mark
