“A Day in the Life of an Archaeologist.”

The one dislike is the Indiana Jones fan that was dissapointed you are not almost killed on a daily basis or uncover discoveries of the decade every tuesday or so, pretty good video my man :4

Why do you have to wake up so early? Those ruins have been waiting for thousands of years, they can wait a few hours more

Hey man, This was super useful for an assignment I had to do for school. I literally had to write a day in the life of some kind of anthropologist, so I decided to do archeology. You seem like a really cool dude, and I hope you can continue to educate and inspire others in this field!

I loved the video and the insight into archaeology. As an undergrad anthropology student, with the goal to focus on archaeology, this video made my day!

I currently work as a tour guide in a cave and have always loved History and wanted to travel. I recently had a biologist who came in for a tour and seemed so happy to visit the cave and see new formations even though he works with this type of stuff everyday and one thing led to another and now I'm thinking archaeology would be an amazing job for me. It seems so interesting and really just fun to be able to discover things like this and learn more about how humans lived before us!

Thanks for the video! Gives me a way more realistic look at what and archaeologist does but why I would still like it.

Hey, I've been considering multiple career options and I'm not really sure where to go, an archaeologist was one of them. I'm still quite young (15) but with GCSEs on the horizon, the pressure to quickly decide what path to take is increasing, I suck at maths (foundation level ._.) But other than than I'm a pretty average student and have no worry in passing other aspects of school. I kinda want to do something with animals, care ect (not veterinary, I'm not a skilled scientists) I'm a relatively skilled artist but I don't think I want to take that route as a job (I just don't think there is much I can do with it and It feels difficult to make a living out of it unless I become a teacher.. which is not a favourite from my parents)
.
Sorry about that load of waffle, just wanted to give a "backstory"
.ANNYWAY
my point is, if archeology is a route I could take how would I go about it ?
(I know it's a very broad, and difficult question to awnser so don't stress if you can't awnser it :)

Dream job. I’m half way there. Looking for grad programs now.

I always loved history and the idea of researching and finding new things through history but I don't know rather to do a job that I would definitely like or get a job that pays higher

A tutorial to become an archaeologist:
1.Study hard in school and read so many books about history
2. Graduate to history or archaeologist university
3. Seek higher education find a normal graduate school
Done. With this stats some companies might hire you without an interview

My aim is archeology that's i saw the video love from india

[callistheoncelestheon]

I know i watched this video late but this is my dream job soon! Stay safe!!

It looks really fun, but I have a few questions that I really need to get off my chest so I was wondering if you could help me get them answered:

1. can you make a good living from being an archeologist? I live in the UK if that makes a difference
2. I heard that that this sort of work is only a small part of it and that the only way to make a real living is to be a professor, is that true in any way?
3. What degrees would I need to have?

Thank you

So do you get paid to go into remote locations and explore until you find something? How do you find this stuff or know where to look?

My dream is to work as a archaeologist
