Provide a minimum of 3 reasons and explanations (3 paragraphs in total)as to why you think you would be great at that job, as well as two graphic images (with sources cited) that represent your "dream" job!
Good Luck!
My Social Scientist job is Archaeologist.
One reason is I have always loved to learn about the past and important history also because I could get rich and famous and be recognized all over the world and I would be able to travel the world which I would really like to do. To Egypt for the Mummies, Greece for the Ancient Greeks, Italy for the Romans and Sweden, Denmark and Norway for the Vikings. Plus I have watched a lot of shows on National Geographic.
The second is how it would affect my life. I think it would affect my life in many ways some good some bad but mostly good. I would have to travel a lot and I would not be able to have a proper family; well I could but it would be difficult. I would be able to work at a museum while I am not out exploring and I could share with kids all my adventures and influence them to become an Archaeologist. Also I would have a huge mansion to store all my work and I would be really famous.
The third is I have seen a lot of movies with archaeologists as the main characters like Brendan Fraser in The Mummy, Harrison ford in Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull and Angelina Jolie as Tomb raider.
Most Archaeologists use metal detectors to find metal under ground and they dig up dirt or sand or grass to see if they can find any pottery or maps or pieces of paper to relate to the past time in history. If they find any what we call things (they call artifacts) with ancient text on it they run their fingers across it like Braille to read it or they dust it off with a brush to get a clearer image if there are pictures on it.
Some Archaeologists find bones in the dirt could be from Dinosaurs years ago to dog these days, they could even find Mummies and in ancient Egypt, to Greek swords and armor or Viking hats and hammers or swords. They might even find some Egyptian cases or some cool sword or daggers and some roman swords.
Another artifact that Archaeologists find are not artifacts they are places like tombs under-ground or even above ground. Also there are places made out of rock which are now tourist attractions like Stonehenge is a really famous one or even something some people see everyday like the pyramids in Egypt one day a long time ago a man who probably after that became an Archaeologist discovered that. Or a whole country like Pompeii was founded around the 7th-6th century by Osci or Oscans.
