What careers are out there, besides teaching, for people with an anthropology or linguistics degree?
Guest7639 As someone has said before me, it really has to do with what you study. As you may or may not know a branch of American anthropology (that is, anthropology taught in the US as opposed to other countries in the world) is linguistic anthropology. Linguistic Anthropology differs from linguistics proper as it enails the study of culture in the development and use of languages. Depending on what you want to do jobs in anthropology can entail anything from government work to private sector research to academic positions. For linguistcs you can do research, academia, and/or language interpreter. I know from experience that just a BA in anthropology will not produce much in form of employment in your field. You will need a graduate degree. Myself I have a master's in anthropology with a concentration in archaeology. I do work as a researcher and mapper. It really comes down to your coursework and research in college to dictate your career path. Good luck! Report (0) (0) | earlie
