Taking a degree in Mechanical Engineering shouldn't preclude you from a career in archaeology, yet. Archaeologists I've worked with or known over the years have come from a variety of educational backgrounds. Degrees, where attained, were as often in completely unrelated fields. Even the odd Classicist... There's nothing to stop you, after graduation, from moving into archaeology: Obtain some volunteer experience during your vacations; armed with that, evident enthusiasm and some persuasion, you should be able to get work with a unit. That's your toe-in-the-door. That said, in this age of reliance on paper qualifications, you may feel more comfortable doing a post-grad course, even an MA, in archaeology. That would have the added benefit of exposing you to 'insider' opportunities and possibilities. ******************************************************************************************** " This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Group.
