<p>Anyone majors in anthropology?
I think it's really good. I got into NYU, I think they got a nice department for that.</p>
<p>what can one do with an anthropology major breathfire?</p>
<p>work for UN, or be a researcher in any country (similar to sociology) also work for a company that has a planning team--a group of people who are experts on the society, who know what it wants, how, why and when. Anthropolgists and sociologist study societies and know them inside out. So companies would want to have such people, b/c they will be able to sell their products successfully.</p>
<p>oh yes that makes sense. And what is your career goal?</p>
<p>to be an ANTHROPOLOGIST!! lol, well, I want to do research on different societies, especially in Africa. I need a PhD for that though.</p>
<p>that's what I meant of course, what specifically lol. Is there money in that? just out of curiosity, not that I go looking for high salary jobs</p>
<p>nah, I heard that it is no money in that job...unless you become like a really grand researcher, write a book on an African tribe or something and get the noble prize..lol!</p>
<p>haha, ever seen kripendorf's tribe?</p>
<p>nope. what is it?</p>
<p>it's a movie about an athropologist who blows a 10k grant he was supposed to be in Africa looking for a tribe so he makes up this story that he discovered a new tribe, he videotapes his kids doing all these tribal practices he made up, and they're dressed in tribal gear, and it turns into this bigger and bigger lie, it's a pretty hilarious movie</p>
<p>sounds like fun! is it something new?</p>
<p>nah, it came out in maybe the late 90s? I can't be for sure. It's not old or anything, but it's not a new movie. I just thought of it since the main character is an anthropologist</p>
<p>i'll try to get my hands on it!</p>
<p>a lot of people think that anthropology is a waste of time cos it's not gonna bring any money. but, I know people who become docs just for money and they hate their jobs!!</p>
<p>yep, you gotta love what you do. I think anthropology is interesting, but I probably won't major in it.</p>
<p>what do u major in?</p>
<p>right now I want to do biology (pre-med), but I have so many interests. </p>
<p>What is your favorite aspect of anthropology?</p>
<p>cultural anthropology.</p>
