It is the only field that covers so many aspects of humans. When considering jobs in anthropology, you must keep in mind jobs that are not specifically related to anthropology, but would work well with an anthropology degree. Much of the time, a BA in anthropology will not get you a job in the field of anthropology. In the field of education (college specifically), it is USUALLY required to have a PhD or equivalent experience. The majority of people with PhDs in anthropology are in the field of education. The four main fields of anthropology are cultural (social), physical (biological), linguistic and archeology. Some examples of their subfields are forensic, business, medical, educational, and developmental. Applied anthropology is often considered the ―fifth field‖ of anthropology, and is specifically oriented toward anthropological employment. The definition of applied anthropology is ―the use of anthropological ideas, techniques, and data in the attempt to contribute to solutions to problems to people’s real world problems.‖ (Gwynne 22) The four largest sectors of employment that anthropologists usually find themselves working in are education, government, nonprofit organizations, and private corporations. Of the four branches, the two with the highest concentration of jobs are archaeology and cultural. The most accessible tool to you for finding anthropology jobs will probably be the internet. Other resources to explore would be college career placement centers, classified ads, internships and volunteering, The Chronicle for Higher Education, and placement agencies. 3 Recommended Preparation for a Job in Anthropology Having previous experience in anthropology will bolster your resume and set you ahead of those that only have a 4 year degree. The following section contains ideas from different experts on how you can stand out from other anthropology applicants. There are several things you can do to prepare for your job in anthropology. One of the most helpful and most accessible ways to prepare for a job in anthropology is an internship. Internships can be a good source of work experience, supplementing your resume with experience related to your field. They can also often be used for class credit, and are often paid. To acquire information regarding internships in anthropology, speak to an advisor in the anthropology department. (See the Anthropology Department homepage http://anthro.fullerton.edu for information on Internships). If you know your area of interest in anthropology, you will want to enroll in classes related to this field. For example, if you want to have your concentration in cultural anthropology, you may want to take some supplemental courses in sociology or other related fields. Your knowledge in other fields is beneficial for the employer. Networking is crucial. One of the first things to keep in mind while meeting new people is to treat everyone with respect. Never be rude to someone because you think they are unable to help you advance in your career. Also, try to treat everyone with the same level of respect. From the dean to a janitor, is it important to convey a sense of professionalism. What Can You Do With a Degree in Anthropology? The following information was taken from the University of North Carolina, Wilmington anthropology webpage. It can be found at: http://www.uncwil.edu/stuaff/career/Majors/anthropology.htm ―Traditionally, anthropologists have taught and conducted research at universities or worked as curators in museums. Today, however, more and more have begun working in applied fields--environmental assessment, planning and development, organizational consulting, medical research, or contract archaeology. While there are opportunities for students with only a bachelors (e.g. with government agencies, museums, or archaeological consulting firms) most such work requires at least a master's (2 years) or even a doctorate degree (5-7 years). 4 ―In 2002, a national survey found that 9,700 students graduated with an anthropology bachelor’s degree and 15% went on for their masters (compared to 27.3% at UNCW). About 2/3 of those that earned a master’s degree went on for a doctorate (60% in cultural anthropology, 25% in archeology, and 10% in physical/biological anthropology). Keep in mind... most careers in anthropology require a masters or doctorate degree. Most Anthropology graduates who decide not to pursue a career in Anthropology chose some type of Business career. ―Many anthropologists with master's degrees or bachelor's degrees work for contract archaeology firms at archaeological sites, in physical anthropology laboratories, and in museums in a wide range of areas. The increasing demand for anthropologists is stimulated by a growing need for analysts and researchers with sharp thinking skills who can manage, evaluate and interpret the large volume of data on human behavior. These jobs might include program director, consultant, planner, market analyst, housing administrator, cross-cultural trainer, social worker, survey researcher, or coordinator of refugee services. Most jobs filled by anthropologists don't mention the word anthropologist in the job announcement; such positions are broadly defined to attract researchers, evaluators and project managers. “Academic. On campuses, in departments of anthropology, and in research laboratories, anthropologists teach and conduct research. They spend a great deal of time preparing for classes, writing lectures, grading papers, working with individual students, composing scholarly articles, and writing longer monographs and books. A number of academic anthropologists find careers in other departments, such as schools of medicine, social sciences, epidemiology, public health, ethnic studies, cultural studies, community or area studies, linguistics, education, ecology, cognitive psychology and neural science. A doctorate is required for most academic jobs. “Corporations, Nonprofit organizations, and Government. Most non-teaching jobs are in the areas of archeology, applied anthropology, and environmental studies. Non-governmental organizations, such as international health organizations and development banks employ anthropologists to help design and implement a wide variety of programs. State and local governments use anthropologists in planning, research and managerial capacities. Contract archaeology has been a growth occupation with state and federal legislative mandates to assess cultural resources affected by government funded projects. Forensic anthropologists not only work with police departments to help identify unknown remains but also work in university and museum settings (for more info check out Dr. Albert’s website at http://people.uncw.edu/albertm/index.htm). A corporate anthropologist working in market research might conduct targeted focus groups to examine consumer preference patterns not readily apparent through statistical or survey methods.‖ 5 Branches of Anthropology and Their Definitions The following are the definitions of various branches of anthropology, some common, some not.

Peace Corps Volunteers serve in 71 countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, and the Middle East. Collaborating with local community members, Volunteers work in areas like education, youth outreach and community development, the environment, and information technology. Coming from all walks of life and representing the rich diversity of the American people, Volunteers range in age from college students to retirees. Every Peace Corps Volunteer's experience is different.

Launching an Armenian computer center. Promoting HIV/AIDS awareness in Malawi. Teaching chemistry in a Ghanaian high school. Peace Corps Volunteers work in a wide variety of areas —and no two days are ever the same. Think of the Peace Corps and you might imagine teaching in a one-room schoolhouse or farming in a remote area of the world. But while education and agriculture are still an important part of what the Peace Corps does, today's Volunteers are just as likely to be working on HIV/AIDS awareness, helping to establish computer learning centers, or working on small-business development. Peace Corps Volunteers work in the following areas: education, youth outreach, and community development; business development; agriculture and environment; health and HIV/AIDS; and information technology. Within these 95 areas, the specific duties and responsibilities of each Volunteer can vary widely. Ask any Peace Corps Volunteer and he or she will tell you that everybody has a unique experience.‖ What are some of the Benefits to Volunteering? – (Information obtained at: http://www.peacecorps.gov/index.cfm?shell=learn.whyvol ) ―You give and you get. The chance to make a real difference in other people's lives is the reason most Volunteers serve in the Peace Corps. But that is not the only benefit of Peace Corps service. Volunteers also have the chance to learn a new language, live in another culture, and develop career and leadership skills. The Peace Corps experience can enhance long-term career prospects whether you want to work for a corporation, a nonprofit organization, or a government agency. The Peace Corps can even open doors to graduate school. From practical benefits such as student loan deferment, career benefits like fluency in a foreign language, and the intangible benefits that come with making a difference in people's lives, there are a variety of rewards for the dedicated service of Volunteers. Rewards that last a lifetime. And the benefits of Peace Corps service don't end with overseas service. It's an experience to draw on for the rest of your life. As is often said, the Peace Corps isn't simply something great. It's the beginning of something great.

Members who serve part-time receive a partial Award. Some AmeriCorps members may also receive a modest living allowance during their term of service. AmeriCorps is a program of the Corporation for National and Community Service, an independent federal agency created to connect Americans of all ages and backgrounds with opportunities to give back to their communities and their nation. The Corporation also oversees Senior Corps and Learn and Serve America. Together these programs engage more than 1.5 million Americans of all ages and backgrounds in service each year. AmeriCorps is made up of three programs: AmeriCorps*State and National, AmeriCorps*VISTA, and AmeriCorps*NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps). What Will I be Doing in the AmeriCorps? – (Information obtained at: http://www.americorps.gov/about/programs/index.asp ) AmeriCorps is a national network of programs that engages more than 70,000 Americans each year in intensive service to meet critical needs in communities throughout the nation. AmeriCorps offers several ways to get involved, from part-time local service programs to full-time residential programs. Members receive guidance and training so they can make a contribution that suits their talents, interests, and availability. 98  AmeriCorps*State and AmeriCorps*National: AmeriCorps*State and AmeriCorps*National support a broad range of local service programs that engage thousands of Americans in intensive service to meet critical community needs.  AmeriCorps*VISTA: AmeriCorps*VISTA provides full-time members to community organizations and public agencies to create and expand programs that build capacity and ultimately bring low-income individuals and communities out of poverty.  AmeriCorps*NCCC: The AmeriCorps*National Civilian Community Corps is a full-time residential program for men and women, ages 18-24, that strengthens communities while developing leaders through direct, team-based national and community service. What are some of the Benefits to Volunteering? (Information obtained here http://www.americorps.gov/for_individuals/benefits/index.asp ) As an AmeriCorps Member, You'll Receive a Wealth of Benefits Perhaps the biggest benefit you will experience when you join AmeriCorps is the satisfaction of incorporating service into your life and making a difference in your community and your country. But there are other benefits as well. Whether you are tutoring kids, building homes, clearing trails and streams, mobilizing resources to create a local health clinic, or participating in any of the hundreds of other goal-oriented AmeriCorps projects, you will be able to really see the results of your work and know you made a difference. But there is more. As an AmeriCorps member, you'll be eligible for a variety of benefits that make the dedication of a year of your life worthwhile. You Will Be Able to Pay Your Bills Many AmeriCorps members receive a modest living allowance. You will not get rich from it, but most AmeriCorps members have found that it covers their basic expenses. Help with College Costs and Student Loans Congress established the National Service Trust to provide an AmeriCorps Education Award for members who successfully complete service in AmeriCorps. You can use your AmeriCorps Education Award to pay educational expenses at qualified institutions of higher education, for 99 educational training, or to repay qualified student loans. The award is $4,725 for a year of full-time service, and is prorated for part-time. You have up to seven years after your term of service has ended to claim the award. At the time you use the AmeriCorps Education Award, you must have received a high school diploma, or the equivalent of such a diploma. If you successfully completed a term of service with AmeriCorps*VISTA in an approved national service position, you are eligible to receive either an AmeriCorps Education Award or an end-of-service stipend of $1,200. The AmeriCorps Education Award option is subject to available National Service Trust allocations to AmeriCorps*VISTA and must have been selected prior to the start of service Work and Life Skills As an AmeriCorps member, you will gain valuable experience in an area that interests you that can translate directly into job experience in your chosen field. You will learn teamwork, communication, responsibility, and other essential skills that will help you for the rest of your life while gaining the personal satisfaction of taking on a challenge and seeing results. Many find their AmeriCorps year to provide them with more experience and skills than they would have gotten in a traditional, paying job.

These tips are for both those still in college and those who have graduated.  Gain as much and as varied experience as possible; the work you do as an anthropologist can be greatly enhanced by your supplemental skills.  Be ready to apply your anthropological skills within and outside of anthropology.  Working in jobs related to anthropology while going to school can greatly increase your marketability.  Obtain education and skills in non-anthropological areas of interest to you in areas you may want to build your career. Volunteering is a good way to accomplish this.  Develop experience working with teams. It’s not often that you will take on projects entirely by yourself.  Let yourself be open to new opportunities. Participate in special projects.  Network in a wide variety of sectors in order to connect yourself with people from varying fields.  Attend conferences for networking purposes.  Be open to learning.  Gain practical experience with internships.  Define your skill set, (not what you know, what you can do with what you know.)  Obtain a professional mentor.  Develop computer skills, such as web design, the creation of spreadsheets, and presentation graphics.  Read everything you can get your hands on. This includes spectrums outside of your interests.  Volunteer – it can often directly lead to a permanent career. If not, it’s great for your resume.  Be yourself! Be enthusiastic! Be creative! 110 Books on Jobs and Careers Anthropology Book sources: The following is a list of useful anthropological book sources.
