Discovering Archeology
By: Savannah Huben
Education Path
Training schools and Colleges
To get into the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse I would have to get a SAT score from 1100 to 1339, and a ACT score of 24 to 27. The school did not list their GPA scores, but their score expectations for the ACT, and the SAT tests are pretty high. So they must give a very good education for your choice of career.

Summary
I could see myself possibly doing this Career in my future. Some positive things about going in this direction would be discovering new things and places, but some negatives might be that I would have to travel a lot so it would be hard to see my family. Also, it could be dangerous where some expeditions are because of the weather, my surroundings, or what country I could be in.
