Sociology - archaeology

My archaeology dig was physically demanding for the three and a half weeks I was there, and it was mentally demanding all year for the archaeologists. They spent the rest of the year planning for the next year’s dig, and evaluating and graphing the pottery and other findings to help date various parts of the site. The archaeologists used this data to write their reports and articles to prove Khirbet Nisya was a valid candidate for the biblical city of Ai. Have you ever held a job that was both physically and mentally demanding? Does this kind of work interest you? Why or why not?
