What's "Technically an archaeologist" for you? I'm a long-time CRM shovelbum from Minneapolis. As a grad school coordinator, do you know or have any opinions on the U's newish heritage or whatever they call it program? I'm reaching the point in my life where I'd really like stable, permanent work, which you pretty much can't get without a master's, and I'd rather not have to move to St Cloud for their program.

Hey, it's me from my midwest.social account. I got admitted to this instance a day or so after posting that so I never saw any of these responses.

My degree is in archaeology and I RA'd on a couple projects, but after graduating I never managed to do anything with it. It's been like 15 years since I've been in the field. At this point I'm fully unqualified to actually do the work, but it's still my academic background and my current work environment is alllll about your academic background. I slap "technically" in there so nobody like you with actual expertise asks me anything tricky ๐Ÿ˜›

Do you have a link for the program you're referring to? I can look it over and see how it looks to me. If it's a UMN program, I may be able to get you in touch with someone who could tell you even more.
