As a wee young 'un, I was utterly fascinated by archeology; I remember being surprised, mildly confused and somewhat insulted when my teachers made a big fuss just because I knew the word "paleontology".
My parents took us kiddies on education~oriented vacations all over North America, visiting museums & galleries & science centers & national parks... yet somehow, none of it took, and I didn't end up as an archeologist... mmmmprobably because being an archeologist is less of something you just end up doing and more something one must work very hard to achieve.
Which is probably why I'm trying to experience it vicariously/virtually now.
