We continue our deep dive into a lengthy listener email with a discussion about what a job in archaeology looks like. What's the difference between a job and a career? What should you look for if you're trying to get a job in archaeology when it comes to graduate programs? We start, though, with a few comments from a twitter follower about episode 178.

As we've always requested sometimes we actually get letters into the show! One such letter was sent to Doug and we answer just a couple of those questions on this show.

Also, we talk about the new Registered Archaeologist certification from the RPA and the new standards requiring continuing education credits.
