I'm ready to change careers
Charlie Hatchett
Hi Guys.
As my kids are steadily leaving the nest, $$$ are no longer a huge factor. I'm ready for a career that I'm passionate about. Central Texas geoarcheology fascinates me. I live about 10 miles from the premiere school for this topic: UT at Austin. I've got all the lower division material completed: from UT. Is there a fast track to completing the upper division material, while still enabling you to work part time. Or are there unique scholarships for disabled vets that allow you living expenses. From what I can tell, I need two 18 hour semesters and one 4-hour summer class. I'm not including the field schools. To me, that's just fun!!!
Your input is much appreciated!!

To be honest Charlie, UT is no longer the place for Texas archaeology, as sad as that is. While TARL still exists there, I don't think there is a single professor that does work in Texas, unless Creel teaches. Texas State has filled that niche bringing in Steve Black and Texas Beyond History, Michael Collins and the Gault Project, and a couple other profs that work or have worked in the state. You should look into that program. While it might be a big commute, you sound really close to Gault and could spend your free time volunteering.

Thanks for the heads up, prisoner. Texas State isn't too far...maybe a 45 minute commute. And you can probably find parking there!!

Charlie, I'm in Texas now, south of Corpus. Do you still have my email address? I'd still like to get over and see your stuff.

Hi rkeyo.
Cool. I used to live around there when I was in the Navy (Kingsville) and for a few years after I got out (outside of Refugio). I don't have your email. Mine is charliehatchett@sbcglobal.net . I'd love to show you around the site and show you the stuff I've recovered over the past 5.5 years.
Cheers!

I just looked over the Texas State BS in Anthropology degree plan:
http://www.txstate.edu/anthropology/degree-programs/bs.html
Looks like I would be able to take all Anth classes except for 6 hours of foreign language.
Oh well, I've always wanted to study Spanish. Comes in real handy in Tejas.
Oh, and all you Texas Vets out there, my wife came across this program:

Dwarmour
Charlie,
Have you been in school recently? I know that the credits expire after a certain extent. You probably are in the clear but I just wanted to mention it just in case.

Great, Dwarmour!!
Now I'm not gonna sleep tonight. All my credits are from 1987 and before.
You know I'm kidding. I guess I'll find out when I forward my transcript.
History, Computer Science, etc...haven't changed much in the last 24 years, have they?
O.K., breaking out the wine so I can sleep. ;)
