I will like to become an underwater archaeologist since it is a nice and interesting job. This job like many other professional jobs in the world means studying, observing and determining a shipwreck or any other valuable materials lost at sea. By carefully studying these recovered materials, an underwater archaeologist can safely determine the age and the contents in the ship and then reserve, preserve and put some of these contents in various museums worldwide.
This job really is not only about studying shipwrecks but also includes studying the plants, animals, fish of various types and sizes, fossils and everything underwater that humankind can think of.
Indeed there are so many other kinds of work that underwater archaeologist does at sea and in my own opinion, this job is really interesting, amazing and wonderful. I hope to recommend this type of job to one of friends and family.
i would love to because of the travel and underwater scuba diving!
