Anyone getting or have an anthro degree.

What type of jobs are out there?

Did you enjoy it?

Nah I'm just jesting with you.


I've got a gang of mates that studied anthropology.

One is working in a quantative market research company running around doing focus groups about shit products.

One is working for the Wellcome Trust in their museum.

One's a science teacher in Southall.

Some are doing further study.

And one is working in Sudan on a project to save the old manuscripts and shite.

It's proven that it is the least paying out of all the higher degrees. At least in holland it is.

It's like most social sciences, history, sociology, anthropology, heck even politics.


You could do everything and nothing at the same time with it.

Echo what tr0tsky said, very interesting no doubt about that but unless you want to work in academia then your choices are quite limited. Do sociology and become a baby snatching social worker

studying people is like studying a disease: very disgusting and useful same time

No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.

the katrina of all snh threads has just hit
discuss!

I thought about doing anthropology but I'm not sure anymore. As has been said, it can leave you in a bit of tight spot doing stuff like that.

However, don't let trying to fit into a particular thing stop you doing what you want to do.

I'm in my second year of a degree in it right now. Need any info just hit me up.

As for my career prospects, I'm torn between drug mule and fairground worker.

You could do both quite easily.

You think I learnt those sort of time management skills doing a fucking Anthropology degree?

I meant you could combine the two. A fair ground is a good place to do drug business.

I found a download of that last year and listened to it in the pitch black after coming home from a rave. Awesome. I was genuinely quite scared at times!

Yeah.

A bit annoying when he makes the mistake at the end when he reassures the public it wasn't real. You heard that mix someone did using sections of the Orson Welles broadcast?

You could just keep going until you get your PhD, then just become a Anthro Professor. Thats what my roommate is currently doing with Philosophy.

This album scared the shit out of me as an 8 yr old...




Back to the topic -
I'm staying on for the MSc & eventually the PhD in Psychology... I'd suggest the same - ride out the recession then come out of it as a doctor and charge an extortionate amount as a lecturer in a University.

nice, i'm just doing my final year BSc psychology now. don't really have a clue what i'm doing but thinking of going down the Ergonomics route, like get into car design or something, would be sick. All the good jobs require a MSc in ergonomics though which is just more money...
