Giovane’s Answer

Hi Alyssa,


Anthropology is, indeed, a very nice choice of career.
You can work at Schools, Universities, Museums, do research etc. You can also move up to grad school and get a PhD in Anthropology. There would open up a new plethora of choices.
Remember, we can learn a lot from ourselves studding old cultures, evolution and even studding contemporaneous cultures distinct from our own.
There is indeed a market for this set of skills you have. I have anthropologists friends that Museums and even at biotech companies.
Hope this advice was helpful.


Cheers

Elizabeth’s Answer

I love your question because I actually graduated with a degree in Anthropology over 40 years ago! My plan was to teach this subject at the high school and later college level but there were no jobs at the time. I ended up in business with a career in Human Resources, though it was called Personnel at the time. It was the best thing that could have happened because Anthropology is the study of man and I was able to study them in a corporate environment, which has its own culture and set of norms and values. Today, many organizations hire people with Anthropology backgrounds because of this understanding.

Marija’s Answer

Hi Alyssa,

Anthropology was one of my favorite subjects. I believe a degree in anthropology can open a wide range of choices for you - for both graduate degrees and specialization and /or career choices.

For instance, a connection of mine on LinkedIN secured a PhD in sociology with likely heavy background in anthropology and psychology. She has to built a deep expertise in creating brands based on her deep understanding of human behavior and social studies. She has recently published a book, "The Business of Aspiration" and she writes about the aspiration economy, taste communities, social design, social commerce etc.

I think the sky is the limit for someone interested in such a profound subject!

Wishing you the best of luck. Marija
