We’ll see if I can get a career relating to archaeology :)

Stick with it.

When I was in high school I thought I wanted to be a teacher (that is until my teacher and mentor told me how much he made after 30yrs of teaching.) Went off to college and decided to study Finance/Business so I could make lots of money. I did very well but I was miserable every second of everyday while dealing with work related stuff. I finally quit so I could teach. Guess what? The partner in the firm offered me a sick amount of money to stay on. A year after I decided to accept the offer and another year of being miserable I left for good. I have been teaching since Sept 2006 and have never been happier in my life. I make a fraction of what I was making but I love what I do. Take it from somebody who sold out (well initially anyway.) If you like archaeology work hard to find something in that field. Don’t settle.

What an inspiring

comment with insight. The teaching profession and students you touch are blessed to have you. If we could all apply this lesson … wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could combine the two (career fulfillment and financial success.)

Congratulations to you – for a life well lived.

Good for you...

That would be cool. Be sure to provide an update! :D
