Budding Archeologist? Are you in the field yet and if so, where? Curious to know because I once thought about perusing that but it's very hard to start out doing shit work with no credibility. You REALLY have to go to college for 8 years to be recognized - let along accepted - in that field.

exactly...right now all i can do is read books, journals, follow news in the field until i gather the money to go back to school - hopefully a couple years - i have my eyes on umass boston, they have a great program. i have a BS in computer science that i originally got into to program/design games (another field that you need a huge investment of time in that wasn't possible and i wasn't cut out for sitting in front of the computer all day every day), and i'm using my current IT job as a stepping stone because the MTA union will soon give tuition compensation to all state schools (unions are good for something). then i'll being the long, strenuous road to a PhD while i'm working almost full-time. but it will pay off - i'll be able to teach a couple classes, do research, get grant money, travel to rediculous places, go on digs, write write write... and be in a band on the side. nothing intrigues me more. nautical archeology seems awesome. i'll find a UFO wreck or atlantis or something.
