Is there a lot of field work for a Cultural Anthropologist? If so, what is it?

A good place to look is the AAA website careers page:

Most anthropologists work in the university setting, but there is an increasing demand for anthropologists in a variety of areas for a number of reasons.  In particular, expertise in ethnographic methods and cross cultural communications are in growing demand in many professions.
