Would you employ him? Yes or no?
No.
He considers himself too elite for manual labour. He should have his benefits terminated then he might come down a peg or two.
You really have no idea what you're talking about, have you?
Don't make assumptions.
From 1977 to 2001, I worked as a semi-itinerant, semi-professional, archaeological assistant on over 30 excavations across the UK. Don't be misled by Tony Robinson and the Time Team, they only show you the end product, not the work that goes into getting there.
90% of archaeology is navvying, pure and simple; either on your feet with a mattock and shovel, or on your knees with a trowel. It's hard, intensive, manual labour; immensely rewarding but sometimes immensely tedious; always dirty and uncomfortable, and invariably demanding both physical stamina and intellectual acuity.
I've shovelled sh!t with the best of them, mate. I've worked on Stone Age, Iron Age, Roman, Viking, Medieval and Georgian sites. I've emptied the contents out of cemeteries, cess pits, charnel houses, dung heaps and middens. I once spent a year sinking a trench, by hand, through 5 metres of waterlogged Medieval ordure in an arrested state of decomposition, going home stinking of Ammonia, Hydrogen Sulphide and 500-year old river mud every night. I'm no stranger to dirty hands.
I've shovelled sh!t with the best, and the worst, of them. I've worked for, alongside, or over, people from a very wide range of backgrounds, and with an equally varied range of personalities. I've worked with people with special needs, and with university graduates (who often also fall into the first category), and ex-squaddies. I've worked with Sikhs, Muslims and Jews. I've worked with homosexuals, militant feminist lesbians, and right-wing neo-fascists (and I know whose company I prefer). I've worked with the entertainingly eccentric, the dangerously eccentric, and the borderline psychopathological, and taken responsibility for their safety in undeniably hazardous circumstances. I'm not a snob.
I've shovelled sh!t
for the best of them, too. I've worked for the Department of Ancient Monuments (as was), and English Heritage (as it is now). I've worked for Bristol Museum, and the Museum of London. I've worked for Sheffield University, Northampton University, and Southampton University, and a number of regional Archaeological Units; and I've been commended for my professionalism, in print, by the Museum of London on behalf of the Royal Armouries at the Tower of London.
Unfortunately, all good things come to an end. 12 years ago, while working for the Museum of London, I strained a tendon in my right elbow. Not a major injury, as such things go, but enough to put me out of archaeology (and any similar form of manual labour) for good.
