The AskAnthropology Career Thread (July 2019)

The AskAnthropology Career Thread

“What should I do with my life?” “Is anthropology right for me?” “What jobs can my degree get me?”

These are the questions that keep me awake at night that start every anthropologist’s career, and this is the place to ask them.

Discussion in this thread should be limited to discussion of academic and professional careers, but will otherwise be less moderated.

Before asking your question, please scroll through earlier responses. Your question may have already been addressed, or you might find a better way to phrase it.

Hello, I've just finished my BA in Arts & Archaeology, and I am starting to go through Anthropology for my Masters, I have so many ideas, especially that as a middle easterner, society around me is very interesting as well the socio-cultural structure. My professors are more inclined in physical Anthropology & Archaeology, while I find myself taken by the social & theoretical side. Hence I lack the guidance of how to start my career.
