Does anyone here have a degree in Anthropology?

Question

I am considering Anthropology as my major, and I just wanted to know what kind of careers there are in the field. Did you specialize in something? I know it can be a very broad subject. I am extremly interested in different cultures, human behavior, and religions, though I can not decide what to major in.

Answer 1

I have a BS in Education but my minor was Anthropology

I teach kindergarten and many's the time I want to do case studies on this foreign culture....lol

Answer 2

I'm working on two BAs right now: Religious Studies and Anthropology... I am hoping to get into grad school so I can continue studying religion from an anthropological perspective (cultural anthropology, yay!).

There are many possibilities, but it's a competitive and grueling field...

If all else fails, you could go all the way for a doctorate in Anthropology and be a professor :)

Good luck.

Answer 3

My second BA was in Anthropology, and I'm employed in a position I got with the first BA, which I'd decided I didn't want to be employed in senior year.

So I'm living testament to the fact that good anthro jobs are few and far between.
