Improve employment opportunities

Question - Career/University Advice

I’m in my mid 30s currently undertaking BA (Hons) Archaeology degree mainly for passion reasons but I do want to work in the field at least for a few years. A number of Years ago I completed a BA (Hons) History & Politics degree as well as a Military History related MSc.

Purely out of interest & thanks to lower tuition fees in Scotland I’m also currently doing a DipHe/BA Hons Classical Studies via open university.

By the time I graduate from my BA (Hons)Archaeology degree I will have completed the DipHe if not the BA (Hons) Classical Studies
Learning & education is one of my hobbies for lack of a better way of explaining and it means I seem to acquire qualifications & degrees.

Beyond getting as much practical fieldwork experience I can manage during my degree looking for advice on other ways to improve employability & views on if the fact I would have 2 BA Hons & a MSc in non-Archaeology subject as well as BA Hons in archeology will be looked at negatively while applying for work in the field as a new-comer
