I was also a Peace Corps archaeologist for Montserrat in the mid 1980s.

I worked as an archaeologist for years.....However, you can't have a family and pay the bills that way....I still work with archaeologists all the time on pipeline projects, as a right of way agent, and it pays much better than archaeology ever thought about.
