Should I stay in England

[u/Last_Farm2976]

I’m an international student and I’m in my last year for my MA. I’m debating on whether to go back to my country or stay in the uk. My main interest is in artifact conservation and collections. I know there are a lot of chances for archeology in the uk, but I’m honestly not sure if getting a worker visa or trying to get a sponsorship is really worth it compared to just going back home. I’d couldn’t go back to my parents anyway and I’d have to go pretty far in my country to find a job and location for me. I’ve been considering paid internships and everything, but I think I want a more permanent solution, but honestly I’m not really sure.

I have some experience in conserving artifacts, but my degree won’t really give me a lot of hands on experience. I’m finding a lot of volunteer opportunities as an object handler for a museum, organizing a zooarcheology project into new shelving, and helping cataloging, analog, and rebagging collections for museums.

I’m also considering doing americorps, but I kind of don’t really understand the loans thing they do.
