What anthropological careers are related to international relations?

Question

Hi, I was thinking of doing a major in Anthropology and an International Relations minor.... What careers do you think will be available to me? I am hoping to be some kind of an advisor or analyst in these fields. Thank you!

Answer 1

Public Diplomacy and NGO/IO aide work.  At my alma mater, there was an international affairs degree which had built in to it a large number of anthropology courses for these sorts of jobs.  If you want work in that field, the IMF and World Bank hire good anthropologists for international development work.  It's working 'for the man' but I'm told it pays very well.
