What is the best way to start an anthropology career?
Anthropology has been a passion for me since about the 6th grade, as such, I have figured that this specific field could be tricky to start out in. The available jobs I can find or research usually tell me the best I can do is become a professor, a museum curator of some sort, or assistant of some sort, not my ideal circumstances. My ideal field of work would be ethnographic research within the U.S; researching primarily on Native American Tribes and other little subcultures in the U.S. Is there a recommended way to get more experience in order to do what I have in mind especially if I am fresh out of college? College internships sound preferable, but will it help me with getting a paid job after I graduate? Besides internships what is the best type or category of work that will point me in the right direction of working in the field someday? Thank you for any thoughts. #anthropology #ethnography #cultural-anthropology
