I think my parents were surprised when I went to school to become an archeologist.
I was always fascinated with history and all the brilliant artifacts that people have discovered over the years.
I absolutely loved learning about the history of Egypt and places like that. I also enjoyed learning about the dinosaurs very much. When I first got out into the field and was able to work on various sites to dig up some amazing things, I was in love with my work. The only real problem was the intense heat and the lack of A/C in a lot of places. That was okay though because we had our little trailers with the A/C pumped up to keep everybody comfortable. Also, while not everybody enjoys the presentations given to the people, I enjoyed the presentations very much. I was always eager to present the findings of our team and talk about these brilliant artifacts. I also enjoyed the fact that when we would have our presentations, we would also have excellent temperature control settings for ideal comfort in the building. It was never overheated, too dry, or overly humid, it was always just perfect. There’s nothing quite like talking about all the amazing things you have discovered with a group of enthusiastic people. It is certainly hard work and you have to be very careful with all the delicate artifacts and ancient sites you are digging into, but it is highly rewarding work. As long as I am able to escape to the air conditioning every now and then, I have no problems with doing what I do in the least.
