Jobs in anthropology?

Question

I plan on studying anthropology and I am wondering what jobs I could get with it. I would like to travel a lot at first, but settle down later so jobs abroad and at home would be helpful. I'm not too bothered about how much they pay, I just want a job I will love.

Answer 1

There are numerous jobs that you can do with a degree in anthropology and whatever job you choose to do does not necessarily have to specifically deal with anthropology.  You can have a job in education (teaching, research, excavation), museums (curators, conservation, research, education), government (administration, CRM, surveying, site management, excavation, research, museum conservation, urban planning, program management), private sector (CRM, research), business (PR, administration, advertising, human resources, sales, writing), social services (administration, counseling, research).  It all depends on what interests you and how far you are going to go in your education.

This year I am graduating with a degree in Anthropology and, for now, I am going to be a 'shovel bum' and work across the US for about a year then decide if I want to go to grad school or settle down somewhere.  Right now, government jobs are the way to go because the baby boomers are retiring and so there are a lot of openings in government positions.  I eventually want to work for the BLM, but in order to do so I need a masters in anthropology.
