I was thinking about majoring in anthropology in college, but I wasn't sure what jobs were out there. Does anybody have some jobs I could get with an anthropology major? I probably will focus on Turkey/Central Asia and South Asia.

Thanks

  1. If you are interested in such a defined area that you want to study, I would first make sure that you find a college that teaches and has at least one prof that specializes in the area.  You may also want to look for schools with classical Archaeology programs... they would be more likely to carry more classes for Turkey and the Persian area.  Don't limit your search to just Anthropology departments.  For going over seas, it's really important to find contacts early and get to know people, so that after college, you can persue your interest.  A knowledgeabe prof that has tons of experience in the area would be a great place to start.  Take a look at some of the books on the subjects you are most interested in... is the author a professor?  If so, Where?  Try going to that college and study under them.  They will most likely be very open to discussing it further with you.  At the very least contact them and ask them questions.  They are teachers because they WANT to share information with others.


  2. i joined the navy as a linguist, thats a great job!!  and they paid back my student loans. hahahaha. evil laugh.

  3. if you goto a field school, archaeologist.

    otherwise, you'll be eligible for jobs that just require a degree, any degree. i'm now looking at a lot of job openings and programs with the federal government.

    probably some of those manager training programs.

  4. You can serve turkey at a museum cafeteria...HeHe!

  5. u can be a teacher like my professor..she seems to love it lol..and she always happy and well rested...and loves to talk about her undergraduate field studies...so that is just a thought. You could also just go excavating (sp) remains in Turkey and Central Asia that is where she started. I think that you should consult with counselors at your school, and or some of your anthro professors.
