What things has everyone does after doing their degree in archaeology?

From my experience, a massive range, and I won't glamourise it - some people aren't doing particularly well at all. I have a couple of friends working for archaeology companies, one specifically as a geophysicist, another doing Teach First, one working in marketing, one in childcare, one working in local politics, and quite a few doing postgraduate study. On the other side, some are unemployed, and one is working as a cleaner. If you put a lot of effort in, make connections, and do lots of work experience, you can find good jobs, but you have to be willing to do this on top of your degree, too. But, you can do basically any career with a degree in archaeology, so it doesn't close any doors.
