Question

How much does a anthropologist earn in a year?

Answer 1

You received some bad answers!!! However, your question is somewhat vague. It depends on how long you go to school. With a bachelors degree you'll have a hard time finding a job, especially one that pays decent. Most people who go into anthropology go to grad school and earn either a masters or a PhD. So, depending on education you could make $30,000 to six figures (+) a year.

P.S.  don't choose careers based on earnings. Choose a career based on your likes and dislikes. People who choose careers based on earnings tend not to be happy with their job and or are not successful at it.

Answer 2

With a Masters in Anthropology, teaching in the college system in California will get you about $55,000 a year.

Answer 3

The average salary pretty much depends on your experience. The longer you stick to this career, the more money you'll end up making. The average salaries are as follows:

Starting Salary (Median): $25,000

After 5 Years (Median): $36,000

After 10 to 15 years (Median) $60,000

Hope this helps. I got this statistics from the Princeton Review.
