Campaign idea: Mick became an archaeologist at 58
Mick spent years out of work with health problems before starting a new career in archaeology at 58.
This story
Mick worked in the building trade and later ran a pub before health issues left him out of work for several years. While unemployed, he joined community digs to pursue an interest in archaeology, despite having no academic background in the subject. He completed a traineeship in Birmingham and joined MOLA Headland as a trainee archaeologist.
