386. It is fascinating.

It's surreal to hold a stone tool that was made 11, 000 to 12, 000 years ago made by someone who needed a tool to hunt or to tan hide.

Archaeology is awesome, but it doesn't pay well and it's hard to find a job in it.

Edit: Archaeology isn't something that can be experienced in a classroom. It's something that you have to go out and do. The United States Forest Service has a volunteer program where interested members of the public can sign up to help with archaeological digs at USFS sites. The program is called Passport In Time (PIT). PIT volunteers are treated like archaeologists and can conduct excavations, help with surveys, and can help with public outreach. It's an awesome program that you should check out sometime if you're interested.
