@thewickedarchaeologist: Sometimes, things outside of your control happen, and you don't know what steps to take next. I'm lucky for my husband to be able to transition so easily. I've experienced some discontent and have decided to make changes. I love archaeology, it is my whole soul. or it was until right before my birthday where I lost my dream job. I will not go into detail, but I would encourage anyone to stand up for themselves no matter the cost. It may be a hard path, but it is worth it to know your worth. I've decided to change course and begin my path to business ownership. IF I can help it at all i will work for myself from now on. I will still be involved in archaeology on this app and maybe even will switch my focus over to accurate representations of traditional medicines across cultures in media, and understanding how herbs and natural medicine shaped the way we do things in our current world. #career #archaeology #masterherbalist #masterpetherbalist #30s #lifechanges #newmoves #careerchange
the archaeology field is difficult and unsure, but archaeological knowledge can be applied to so many different fields!

I :
I went the other way - into archaeology at 34 after ‘walking into the wall’ as they say. I see people so jaded and burnt out and I want to encourage them to make the leap into something different! It’s been a new lease on life.

Losing my “dream job” a few years ago ended up being one of the best things that ever happened to me. Cheering for you as you step into this next chapter!

That Septic Girl :
That’s ok. I got a degree in chemical engineering and worked my way up the ladder in oil & gas for 20 yrs to report to the COO and walked away to own a septic company. Damn I miss the money…

Answers in the Silmarillion 🏴 :
Well, it'll be here if you decide to come back. I'm 57, 30 years as a fed arch. Burn out is real. Retirement is around doing the corner. Sometimes I wonder if I had switched up during all that. Happy journey to you with your new plan. 🙏

Actually this can be a good thing. I buy loose leaf tea from a women that used to be an archaeologist too. (The armchair anthropologist tea) super successful and great teas I might add!
