The one egyptologist I met became a tech manager.
Having said that, the idea that egyptology and similar areas of study are only relevant to the handful of people who intend to pursue academic careers is a very neoliberal framing, and ignores the value of the liberal arts in helping to produce a cultured, educated populace, regardless of whether they will ever generate economic value by examining pyramids or burial goods.
