Question:

Any history grads, professors, or anyone that works in the fields of history and/or archeology?

I am looking to finally follow my passion but I seem to be at a loss as to how to start! I'm 30, have 2 degrees (computer science and finance) from a top university, worked as an engineer in the oil industry but have been very sucessfully self-employed as a daytrader (oil/energy stocks) for the last 3 years. I am not bilingual. I really want to follow my dream (obsession), go to grad school and work as an archeologist in the field of European/Mediterrean pre-history (I am not interested in American history). I live in San Francisco and the colleges I have looked into require a history BA (though no one allows someone who already has a Bachelors to enter the program). I contacted Berkeley's grad department and they basically said I should have thought to get a History degree when I was younger. Can anyone suggest any pathways to a career in pre-historic archeology? I could devote myself full-time to studies, plus I love academic work. Is it possible at my age to change fields?

By saying I am not bilingual, I mean that I have not yet studied the classical languages most likely needed for a career in archeology.
