What Career path combines a love for history , exploring the world and question the reason why thing happen.

Hi Rondell,

What do you think about arqueology?

Archaeologists study sites and objects to learn about the past. If you are fascinated by history and enjoy investigating, this job could offer the opportunities you’re looking for.
You’ll need to have an enquiring mind along with good planning and organisational skills. Accuracy and attention to detail will help you make even the smallest discoveries.
Most professional archaeologists have a degree, and many employers will also expect you to have or be working towards a postgraduate qualification.

As an archaeologist, your work would depend on your specialist area. On a day-to-day basis you could:
- identify possible sites to study using methods such as aerial photography, field-walking and surveying
- take part in excavations or digs, usually as part of a team
- record finds and sites using photography, detailed notes and drawings
identify and classify finds
- clean and preserve finds in a laboratory
- use laboratory analysis, for example carbon dating
- use computers to produce simulations of the way a site or artefact would have looked
- preserve industrial artefacts and buildings
- check planning applications and identify the impact of development on archaeological sites
- make sure that important sites, buildings and monuments are protected
- classify, display and look after artefacts in a museum.

You may also carry out research, write about your work for publication in books and journals, or teach at universities, colleges or schools.
You could specialise in a particular geographical area such as Egypt, a period of history like Roman or a type of artefact, for example pottery.

Sociology:

Sociology is the study of human social relationships and institutions. At the personal level, sociology investigates the social causes and consequences of such things as romantic love, racial and gender identity, family conflict, deviant behavior, aging, and religious faith. At the societal level, sociology examines and explains matters like crime and law, poverty and wealth, prejudice and discrimination, schools and education, business firms, urban community, and social movements. At the global level, sociology studies such phenomena as population growth and migration, war and peace, and economic development.

Students who have been well trained in sociology know how to think critically about human social life, and how to ask important research questions. They know how to design good social research projects, carefully collect and analyze empirical data, and formulate and present their research findings. Students trained in sociology also know how to help others understand the way the social world works and how it might be changed for the better. Most generally, they have learned how to think, evaluate, and communicate clearly, creatively, and effectively. These are all abilities of tremendous value in a wide variety of vocational callings and professions.
