Anthroplogy

Do you love travel and learning about different cultures and people? Why not make a career out of your passion as an anthropologist? Anthropology is the study of human beings and their behavior, social relationships and societal structures. Anthropologists are considered social scientists and spend much of their time in research, social experimentation, writing, analysis of other anthropological studies and publishing their own work.

According to the Bureau of Labor, the earnings of anthropologists and archaeologists in 2008 was $57,300. There are several subsets of the field of anthropology including archeology, sociocultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology and biophysical anthropology. In order to study different cultures and peoples, anthropologists frequently have the opportunity to travel to exotic places and live amongst the indigenous peoples. The world is your oyster in anthropology and you can study whatever interests you from tribal music traditions in Namibia, Africa or the origins of witchcraft in Haiti.
