No good friend. Buy a metal detector and find old civil war shit as a hobby. Archaeology is like being a sociologist. That being said, if you can write a book or get lucky and find some truly old/rare shit you are good to go.

The age of Schliemann and Carter is over, bro.

Wanted to do the same, used to read dozens of books about old cultures back as a child. Probably could have done well as a Historian, fortunately went to become a marketer.

Don't do Archeology.

Raise your passive income enough and you can do literally any job you want.

Speaking from personal experience, I have archaeologist friends earning pretty significant money in Dubai.

In general, however, archaeology will require you to go down the path of academia to make money in the field.
