<p>I don’t think the anthropology portion of it will bring in jobs, but the tech writing portion of it could. There is a need for good tech writers out there, it is a very definite skillset that is sorely lacking out there in many cases. Quite frankly, if you ever saw the state of technical documentation, or what passes for it, you would see the need. Based on my experience in the tech sector, it is the kind of job that often comes about through roundabout means, so getting an internship and such may be a great idea, it also might be wise to find out from people in the department about how you go about getting jobs like that, but there is a definite need for it.</p>
<p>As far as UG chem degrees, even going back to my dark age time in the field, chemists with a BS generally end up in lab tech kind of jobs, to become a ‘real’ chemist these days, in the chemical industry or pharm generally requires grad level degrees, living in an area with a number of pharm companies and having met quite a few chemists and scientists there, they all had grad level degrees, lot of phd’s. Chemical engineering is different then chemistry, there you can get good jobs with a bs. Not so much that jobs with a bs in chemistry don’t exist, just that IME these days they tend to be in relatively low end, lower paying jobs.</p>
