What kind of jobs can you get with an Anthropology degree?

I’m thinking of going into Anthropology, more specifically Archeology, and I was wondering if anyone on here knows someone or has themselves done the same thing. What is the job availability like? The competition to get into things? Any information would be useful.

I checked out a site for ya & this is what I got as to what jobs can you get with the degree…hope this helps!

Anthropologists can find jobs in many places, from the obvious to the not so obvious. Cultural anthropologists are equipped to work in a variety of fields. In the business world, they can be found in public relations and advertising positions. In the academic world, cultural anthropologists can work as museum educators. Cultural anthropologists with an emphasis on medical anthropology also find jobs in community health.

Archaeologists with a BA in anthropology can do work called ‘contract archaeology’. This means that they are called upon to investigate sites that are usually about to undergo some construction work. Contract archaeologists quickly go in and make sure the construction of a new building will not destroy an archaeological site that may be hidden under the surface. Archaeologists also may use the education in geology and earth science to work for government natural resource and ecology departments. Archaeologists sometimes work with museums, both pubic and private. The majority of their time is not typically spent on museum-sponsored excavations. Instead, the archaeologist works at sorting, cataloging, and storing huge collections of artifacts. Physical anthropologists can also find work in museums in the same capacity that cultural anthropologists and archaeologists may. Those specializing in primatology can work in zoos as educators and zookeepers. Physical anthropologists that specialize in human biology and anatomy may pursue work in forensics. Forensic anthropologists work with law enforcement, usually to help interpret evidence found in human remains. Physical anthropologists who dedicated much of their education to laboratory-oriented classes can work as lab assistants and researchers for both public and private biological research facilities. Linguists are often bilingual and find work as interpreters. They may work in sales, public service, law enforcement, or any of the several fields that are experiencing a growing need for bilingual employees. No matter which emphasis you choose, you may find work teaching if you earn your teaching certificate during the course of your education. It should be noted, however, that very few high schools offer courses in anthropology. If you wish to teach anthropology, you will find more opportunities at the community college and university level. In order to teach at a community college you will need your Masters degree. It is wise to gear your education so you will be qualified to teach more than just anthropology. Be prepared to also teach biology or sociology or some other discipline. A few universities take people with Masters degrees as teachers, but most require a PhD to teach at this level.
