B.A

Hi Shreya,
Archaeology is a perfect career for those people who derive self-satisfaction in discovering a part of history and culture long lost in the dust of time. It is a career that is very much in demand since archaeologists have to spend infinite hours and days camping and undertaking field work at laboratories and in excavation sites. An archaeologist therefore must have the patience to work on a project that may take months and even years to compete. Few essential skills required for an archaeologist are reading habits, knowledge about past history, excellent penmanship and an analytical and focused mind. In comparison to monetary benefits, fame and recognition are considered more benefit in this field/occupation.
