Question

What are jobs i can get from the study of cultural anthropology?

Answer 1

There are many jobs one can obtain with a back ground in cultural anthropology.  Working in a shelter is just one of those things.  What about consulting work with no profit groups, who focus on working with people.  You have a degree in "people" start thinking like that.  You must have had some language.  I can think of a million groups like Heifer International just being one of many that could use someone like you to be a liaison.  You don't even have to be fluent, just your cultural back ground makes you sensitive to people.  Any job in research.  You must have done back ground work, participant observations, and other such cultural studies that make you ideal for working with local or national government, journalism, parks and tourism i.e. national parks where things like mound sites are,  p.r. person for a company, work with international relations groups, what about working for an embassy abroad for a while, get a law degree and practice international law, work with children who have disability's, join the peace corps, be a teacher, work for research company, there are a million jobs out there.  Remember your specialty is "humans" so you can work anywhere they are.  Good Luck.

P.S. there are some info sites just for anthroplogy students to get jobs.  One of my friends who got there B.A. and then went on to med school took sometime off and did some cultural work.  She found a reasorce guid on the Anthropological Assosiation Web Site.  Just Google it and they have pages for people like you.

Answer 2

advertising, consulting. CA is quite academic and includes history and forensics of a sort too. Museums would like it. The military must have insidious methos to be gleaned from it and psychology would benefit in a travel agency sort of way. I would say adapt the study to point yourself to the field of interest and the part of the world u want to be in. Then dig into what u can do with it.

Answer 3

I'm interested in Anthropology but the only jobs available were either teaching or survey work for a company-checking out the area to see if said company would fit in the area or do well. (I.E.-like finding out if a UFO shop would do well in Washington, DC)

Answer 4

I'm graduating this May with a BA in anth, and I'm getting a job at a local shelter for troubled youth for a year or so, and then I'm going to get my Masters in Public Health.  Then, I'll be able to get all sorts of jobs.

really, an undergrad degree in anth is GREAT-- if you're going to get a masters in something more specified after you graduate.  People take me seriously and realize I'm intelligent and am itnerested in things that MATTER.  So, if you're just looking for a job behind some desk somewhere, then, I don't think anthropology will get you a high-paying one.  

mostly though, people are in an anth department because of their passion for learning since... most of the times, it requires LOTS of education or a low-paying job.... so sad.
