Anthropology?
I am interested in a job in
anthropology and im wondering
what it would consist of, what
would my regular duties be?
would I end up sitting behind
a desk most of the time? or
would I be out alot? other job
suggestions would be useful as
well, iam interested in
studying social interaction,
philosophy and I like to be
outdoors
Response to Ms 6: See thats
the thing I dont want to sit
behind a desk I find that to
be the most boring repulsive
life I could ever live. I want
a job where I can get out and
do something.

Then you would want to pursue a career in Cultural Anthropology, which could consist of you sitting behind a desk if you choose to teach. The beautiful thing about Cultural Anthro. is you don't necessarily have to go to the depths of Africa, South America or the Pacific Island, you can study the cultures right here in the US, you can study prison or homeless population, as an example. Find a school that offers Anthropology become all the Cultural Anthro. professors friends, and maybe they will take you on their next trip. Get your masters and you can have a job in Anthropology, you may want to also get your Ph.D Good Luck! * In response: Yes I understand that, I said you can sit behind a desk if you choose to teach, your choice. You may get better funding if you work for a school. |

Anthropology isn't just about traveling. It's a very broad topic. But pretty much they study people, societies, cultures, and languages. In the college anthro class I'm taking, we won't be traveling anywhere. But it is a very interesting course of study. You can do a lot with it, including traveling. But where you travel deals with what specific subject and region or society you want to study. |

The business world is changing and it is finally starting to see that companies need experts in all many different fields as advisors. Companies need to know all aspects of their products, how they can used, thought about (image), changed. If you have interest in psychology then evolutionary psychology might be a good job for the future but anything related to the medical world is a good bet. Good Luck. |
