      @DestructeurDe It depends on the area and the company you work for. Places like California may pay more, but the cost of living may also be higher as well.
      Since I have more experience with the American Southwest, this is the region I'll be talking about. The cost of living is lower, and generally the pay as well. I've seen or heard the pay rate is between about $15 an hour to $22 an hour. I've heard that one company (which I'm not going to name) pays it's crew lead (the equivalent of a shift lead) with a year or two of experience about $18 an hour. I've only had one interview where they offered me a little over $18 an hour. The rest were $20 to $22 an hour starting off.
      On top of that and the typical benefits like health, PTO, stock options, we also generally get per diem. Which, depending on the project and if we're camping, can net you up to an additional $1800 a month.
      Remember, this is just the starting pay at the start of your career. About 5 to 10 years in (sometimes a tad bit sooner), you can become a project director if you have at least a master's degree. This job's salary is between $60,000 and $90,000 a year.
      I know these numbers are lower than some of the trades and STEM careers, but it's certainly doable and livable. I rent a nice apartment in the nice side of the city where I live. All of my bills are paid, I have a working vehicle in good condition and in the talks of buying another vehicle, I support two dogs and a cat, and I save up to $1000 a month.

I was just curious if you had advice on entering the field of conservation

    Hi guys I have a question about dirt! When they unearth archaeological sites in the world it seems like it’s buried deep and they have to dig it out. Does that mean over long periods, the earth accumulates more dirt:earth/organic matter?? Could I assume over a long period my house would be underground? Hope I’m making sense

    • @somethingsomethingusername802
      @somethingsomethingusername802 2 года назад +1

      In a way, yes. Wind, water (rain, floods), erosion, or dirt, dust, sand, etc.
      Some stuff was buried by natural disaster, others by demolition, expansion, and essentially building on top of what once was (see: Italy, France, England, much of the Americas, etc.). Some stuff was buried intentionally, others discarded and naturally buried with time. For example, open ditches. A perfect place to throw your rubbish. When the people moved, or the landscape changed due to say invasion, conquest, or simply an increase in population, the ditches either filled naturally or intentionally.
      Could you assume over a long period your house would be underground? With modern building practice I'd say it is fairly unlikely. Though in the case of an extinction level event, or societal collapse, sure, perhaps in a couple thousand years the debris and remnants of your past life may just be dug up.

    I’ll be a bit open here. (My bad for typing so much)
    I don’t have an aim. And because of people constantly asking what my aim is, I’m really bothered and possibly nervous now. But here’s a thing, I’m afraid of going to new places and adapting to them. Maybe because I’m an introvert? Idk. Nevertheless, I recently discovered this subject and it really peaked my interest. I have a slight interest in history so I was wondering perhaps this could be more comfortable for me. I believe I still have time but everytime I think about it, it feels like time is just shortening quickly. So yeah.
