Such a bummer they didn’t create a career to go with that pack

I actually prefer that they didn’t. It’s easy enough to register as a self-employed “Archaelogist” which leaves you with a more flexible schedule to actually go to the jungle.

As for the original question, my main archaeologist is currently working on a history degree. Since you can go back for multiple degrees, my head canon for all my sims is that the first degree is an undergrad degree, and every subsequent degree is grad school. So I’m going to have him go back later for an education degree, as most archaeologists IRL are also professors. (For comparison, I’m also going to try to make sure that most of my doctors and lawyers and scientists also get at least two degrees.)

But, I have another archaeologist who is art history all the way (degree plus art critic as a career, with archaeology as a hobby basically) plus another one who I may or may not even send to university, and she’s going to stay self-employed as an archaeologist.

Probably a silly question: Do any degree make a difference if being an Archealogist? I understand thatr certain skills come in handy in the jungle, but would there be any difference between a sim taking a degree (including those useful skills) and a sim just reading up on those skills on his own?

Can relics sell for more if you have a degree? Do you find them more easily? Or do you get a bonus?

Aside from these mentioned, Psychology gives you a head start as a professor if you want to do the Dr Jones route.
