Want to be an archaeologist?
In general, most archaeologists have at least a BA or BSc in Archaeology, though there is a possibility of an apprenticeship route into archaeology in the future. Aside from an education, the most important assets a would-be archaeologist can have are experience of digging (ideally in a commercial environment, but work on community excavation projects is also beneficial). A driving licence often helps - archaeologists work all over the country, usually in places not accessible by public transport.
