I'm a junior in high school and I am trying to decide on a career I may want to do. Archaeology appeals to me a lot but I need more information about it. So I have a few questions and that would be great if someone could answer them! What kind of college education does it take to become one? Does every archaeologist have a job on a dig site? Or is it hard to get one? Is it a lot of traveling if you get a job on a digsite? How long do they last? What is a good college to attend for this? If anyone has any other informations please share!! Thanks!

What are some jobs where I wouldn't be doing the same thing all the time, but the stress level is pretty low? Also it would be great if this job involved moving around, rather than sitting at a desk.
