Fragment from Tarler, David. “An Afterlife of Sorts.”
Journal of Eastern Mediterranian Archaeology and Heitage Studies 3, no. 3 (2015): 270–76. doi:10.5325/jeasmedarcherstu.3.3.0270. http://www.jstor.org.ezaccess.libraries.psu.edu/stable/10.5325/jeasmedarcherstu.3.3.0270
“I used to be young and foolish, and poor but happy, but after a
while, I was just foolish and poor.” That is the terse, “elevator”
response I've been giving for more than 20 years to the question, “Why
did you leave archaeology in Israel for law school in the United
States?”
The decision to change careers (and countries) was not an easy one,
and it took a long time. I had lived in Israel for almost 17 years,
beginning when I was 19 and a transfer student from The University of
Chicago to the Departments of Archaeology and Jewish History at The
Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
