    Archaeologists in SA

    The thrill of discovery. Definitely a perk of archaeology. Who knows how many stories like this are out there hopefully one day the field will flourish in SA so we can discover them all.

    Archaeologists in SA

    Wow! Sad to see the field isn't well funded here. I'm obviously concerned about finding employment, but we don't need much. Before the pandemic, we earned a very comfortable salary but gave it up for many reasons, but one of them is that you spent way too much time at work to be unhappy...

    lol, I have no dream job. He has one so figured it wouldn't hurt to look into it. But the "uselessness" of the degree is food for thought I suppose.

    Archaeologists in SA

    I did find the quote saying the average salary is 120-150k, but I personally know someone who was offered a position at a museum for double that. We lost touch so unfortunately can't pick her brain about what the field is like now. She was offered her dream job (museum) straight out of uni, but...

    Archaeologists in SA

    He is interested in ancient Mesopotamia. The problem with going overseas is that employers need to jump through a lot of hoops to employ a foreigner and most do not want to do it. We spent our 20s overseas and definitely have no problem going where the work is, but we know how long visas etc...

    Archaeologists in SA

    Good day, I didn't know where to post this, but since "wealth" factors into it I thought I'd post it here. I've been trying to find archaeology jobs in SA and I have been coming up empty. Are there any archaeologists on here that can tell me if there's a website I can look at for vacancies? My...

    Google Data Analytics Certificate vs UCT Data Science with Python

    Because when I started looking at alternate career options both UX/UI and data analytics caught my attention. I thought my psych background would be of some use in the UX/UI field, but nobody got back to me (tried to apply to so many companies quite a few said no experience/no degree applicants...

    Google Data Analytics Certificate vs UCT Data Science with Python

    Thank you for this, I'm busy with the data analytics course from google, and it's nothing like the Getsmart course. Glad I didn't end up paying for the UCT course because I'm not in the IT field so it doesn't seem like it would be all that useful for me right now. If the Google course is...

    Google Data Analytics Certificate vs UCT Data Science with Python

    I'm looking for startups at the moment. My husband is actually doing something in a different field with a new company and the people in the company seem to find it easy to move around. For now, I have the time so once I know anything about anything lol I'm okay with doing the grunt work at...

    Google Data Analytics Certificate vs UCT Data Science with Python

    I did and I was actually pretty good at quantitative psychology. LOL, funnily enough, I just found a postgrad qualification that requires first-year statistics only and messaged the professor stating psych did have statistics (kinda), but sadly it doesn't count.

    Google Data Analytics Certificate vs UCT Data Science with Python

    Nothing at all that would even remotely have me be considered a viable option to a future employer. I've done editing, teaching, counseling etc. I do not mind hard work nor do I mind learning new things. I actually love researching various things and when I get hooked on something I try to...

    Google Data Analytics Certificate vs UCT Data Science with Python

    Again thank you for all your responses. As I said I have an unrelated degree (psych) and have been researching the field for the past few months and I really like everything I've read about it. So, perhaps I'm getting things a bit confused. I have scoured the job markets and the common threads...

    Google Data Analytics Certificate vs UCT Data Science with Python

    Good day, thank you for your post. I realize even though they sound the same they are actually different positions, but whether it's data analytics or data science it will count in my favour when I apply for postgraduate qualifications. Right now I'm just looking at the easiest entry point. I...

    Google Data Analytics Certificate vs UCT Data Science with Python

    Good day, I was wondering if people in the industry could compare the two certificates for me in terms of the job market? I know most companies will want an IT qualification and it's going to be hard finding an entry-level position without an IT qualification. I come from an ARTS background...
