@claton95 …if your’e looking at going into anthropology, count on fierce competition, and a post-graduate degree. This means much money towards your education. All of the career anthropologists in my family obtained their PhD (doctorate). The only one who obtained a bachelor’s in anthropology, in my family, went into a career that isn’t directly related to anthro (but indirectly useful). If you’re looking at anthro. for a good salary, you have to be excellent in your field with a PhD.

@claton95 Why do you want to go into anthropology? If you like for things to move quickly, this wouldn’t be the field for you. It’s ideal for a slow-paced, methodical, inquisitive thinker. Do you ask a lot of “why” questions or do you just accept what you read, are told? Anthropologists questions EVERYTHING to death.

the american government should learn anthropology. They need to understand that some cultures are 1000s of years old and cannot operate under their laws. Colonialization is the downfall of anthropology. Soon the world will be under an american modern influence, and the cultural ideals formed over generations will be dead.

@skimenneske I looked for books to get started in Anthropology and found “Anthropology The Basics” by Peter Metcalf a good beginner’s book.
