Read the Social Scientist careers page at the Occupational Outlook Handbook website.  There is also a link at the bottom of the page to the Society for American Archaeology and the Archaeological Institute of America, which may have further information.

First thing would be to apply to every Geologic, Environmental, and Environmental Engineering company that you know of.\nSecond, try not to be tied to a certain location.  There are tons of geology jobs out there, but unless you live in the American Southwest, most of them will require you to move away from home.\nThird, have your professors refer you to former students from the department who are working in the field.

no problem with that, you can working as anything depend from your ability.. I graduated from Archaeological Departement, University Of Indonesia, and now working as IT Manager. I will get my master degree in archaeology if i have time and money of course. Since now I learning and join any archaeology community for prepared my master. I think you can do like what I do.

There are various opportunities out there.  One great one, that I actually went to when I was in high school, is Crow Canyon Archaeological Center in Cortez, Colorado (crowcanyon.org).  Another great resource is the Archaeological Institute of America (archaeological.org); they maintain a list of all kinds of archaeological field opportunities from around the country and around the world.

*FIRST* u must asemble the goal..  First of all you going to have to dig no matter if you do not want to. You only have to dig about a ft or ft- half into the ground depending how tall your goal is. Also you well need a pole digger ( IT looks like a pair of siccors that are up side down) and u would need a bag a cement and  (2) or (4)  2x4s to hold the pole in place while the cement is setting, while it sets get a levler to make sure the pole is right in there and if not move it until it right in there if not just ajust it

look into majoring in forensic anthropology (dead people) or forensic archeology (crime scene) search for Forensic Science in your favorite search engine.  I think you're interested in what they do on CSI, right?

well, don't despair. If you are 30 by now, I would think you have an active career of about 35 years in archeology ahead of you. Go get that degree or find some archeology related interest group in your local area. In my opinion dedication is half the effort. Myself I have worked within archeology for many years, but it was exactly my interest that spurted my efforts. And yes, you can make a living as an archeologist. Most archeologist more or less construct their own job, and therefore it is often a question of how talented, inspiring AND insightful you are that decides how successful you are as archeologist.

If I were you, I would contact MUFON. They have a website and could probably answer this question. I think you can sign up to do field investigations with them without even having a degree or anything.

Before trying to learn ancient things,  you need a well rounded education in preparation.  You should focus on anthropology, sociology, and archeology as majors.  You may also want to study Hindi or other Indian dialects.  So I guess I am suggesting that you should go to college first, and perhaps go to India as an exchange student with a program if you can find one.  There are programs in many countries that allow you to study at one of their universities by living with a family and helping to take care of their children.... a nanny.\n\nSue

The history of embalming - start with Egyptians (or further back) - you know, mummies, canopic jars, and the like - move to modern times - go to a local funeral home and ask for a tour (I'm totally serious - they don't get serious enquiries often, so they will usually comply if they know you are serious).\nOr if your goal is to WIN the science fair, go with something in the psychology area (left brain/right brain differences maybe)- questionnaires, skills tests, and such.  You can enlist your family's help with all the "field work," and since very few people enter in this category, you're a likely winner!
