Does a anthropologist make alot money?

Question

I love the anthropology field and I have been hearing that they dont make alot of money i want to know if thats true because thats what I want to go to school for.

Answer 1

ya. its true. I intended to be an archaeologist after i graduated. but after working as one for a while i realized I dont really like it so much that I want to work for the same amount of money I could make without a degree. so now im in the middle of a large job hunt. and it doesnt look good, i've got a degree in something most people don't even know what it is.....and a low gpa, no internship

Answer 2

hahaha... money?!?!

anthros dont goto school for $$, gotta just love what you do!

Answer 3

Only the rich ones.

Answer 4

if you are money hungry then no anthropology is not for you.  but if you want to do something you love then go for it.  unfortunately you will have to have a masters or doctorate to begin making anything at all.  and that is mostly as a teacher.
