Social Scientists

Pompeii
If I had to choose from three jobs (Archaeologist, Geographer or Historian), I would pick Archaeologist because I think that it would be interesting to dig things up that no one has seen or used for maybe over 20,000 years. I am interested in the past of the planet we live on because there are still a lot of things that we can learn about the prehistoric age. I would love to dig up some vases, coins, bones, clothing, etc. Archaeologists dig things up to study the past and to help Historians study the history of the planet and its living beings. Not only do they dig things up, but they search for old cities and towns. They study how the people lived in these ancient places, why they left and maybe why they died there.
