Its kinda hard to explain to be honest with you. The man is saying that for as long as he lives, he's going to be an archeologist. The personification kinda dramatizes this fact, its shows how serious he is about it. The personification also give a dreaming tone to it, as if this is the mans main goal in life and is his dream of discovering the secrets behind the earth.
