Having been exposed to some of this academic field, quite a few of them are also unpaid.
They don't even treat people accepted into the grad program with any degree of respect. Undergrads are pretty much slave labor, used to dig holes and sift dirt. When they do find something interesting, they kick 'em out of the way and someone else comes in and finishes it - usually claiming any credit.
Ain't none of them sane. None!
They willingly subject themselves to this treatment, and go to great personal expense to go help out on digs. (You can, yourself, probably go help on a local dig - they take volunteer labor. It's mostly using a shovel - if you're good with a shovel. You kinda gotta graduate to shovel use.)
Anyhow, I digress!
Fit chicks running around in fairly loose and often light clothing, bending over to give great cleavage shots? That's my fetish!
Hot chicks in Brit history documentaries? Suzannah Lipscomb is babe.
