Summary
I am currently 36 years old with a masters degree in archaeology and I currently do some part-time archaeological survey work mainly over the summer time, unfortunately there aren't too many jobs or opportunities in this career so with that situation, I am currently looking for a meaningful and stable career job where I can work my way up in something that I know will be worth it and can be successful with. I am a very hard-working young man with a lot of willpower and energy. I am very easy to get along with and very positive. I like to be organized and have great dedication in whatever I do.
