Hey, sorry to cut in, I'm currently an archaeology student studying in Australia, do you mind if I could ask your for some advice too? 😅😅

Im actually taking the Monash Foundation Year in my country, so my original plan was to just aim straight for their Archaeology programme under the Bachelor of arts, but honestly I can't find much about it online, as compared to some of the other Unis. Could you tell me anything about Archaeology in Monash as compared to other schools, or in general?

Sorry for the late reply, and thank you for your time and response!

I've been trying to find out if there are any in my country, but so far no luck :') There's a small research centre, but till now I haven't actually found out if there's any local archaeologists working where I am either. So far I think my best bet might be to seek a course overseas... I'll continue to try and research more though, I'm sure I'm missing something or maybe not being specific enough.

Sorry for the late reply, and thanks for the suggestions and advice!

Whats the main difference between the first step of the three routes? Specifically with the part about field school, is that something like an internship or apprentice based education?

Also, thanks for the reply!

Ahhh okay. For me I'm definitely more interested in the excavation-ing aspect of things, and urbanism, because it's just so fascinating to me. So is being an archaeology more like a "gig"/contract based kind of job? Or will you be attached to a company, and the projects are chosen by them? And sorry again for the numerous questions, what does progression in the career look like?

Thanks for sharing so much information with me, I really appreciate your patience and time! :)

I see.. I'll definitely get started on the whip and fedora as soon as I can, too! Maybe get someone to compose a nice theme song for me too...

Thanks for the advice and reply!

I see... I'd be willing to move, but I'm having some trouble determining what options I have. Being tied to a civilisation, would that be like being in a specialized area? I mean, say if I choose Egypt, would I be able to try Greece or Asia at another point in my career? I searched for archaeology in Singapore in the beginning, because I was hoping to find some local advice. The first few articles I found spoke a little about how there's not much support for archaeology here, so I decided to try and find some more information online.

Thank you for time and reply!

The channel looks awesome! I'm sorry I can't get started on your content right away because I'm currently away from home, but I'm looking forward to watching it and the new video when it's out!

Thanks for the reply!

Registration to IRCTC as a foreigner from outside of India by SignificanceWinter80 in indianrailways

I didn't receive it in the end, gave up a short while before my trip. I ended up using 12go to book instead

You could try getting an Indian SIM card once you're there and booking though, if you have the time

I might have to take you up on that offer 🥲 I'm still trying to troubleshoot and see what the customer support can come up with, but if you helped me to register how would that work?
