Is that how you two met initially? And I did for a little while, just to have the fancy certification and whatnot (I majored in ancient history) but after hitting the books so much I decided I wanted something more adventurous. Started recovering stolen artifacts to get a name for myself, and once I got a reputation I forgot about school. It depends on the job, but usually it's finding lost or ancient cities and treasure for the right price, or personal reasons. A good portion of it is stealing back artifacts from people who shouldn't really have them.
To be honest I don't mind watching sports but I have no interest in them apart from the occasional entertainment value -- the Natural History Museum is mostly right up my alley when it comes to interests.
I can't say I've ever been but I don't discriminate in terms of new places.
