- Let's talk about the highest paying jobs for anthropology majors! As an anthropology major myself, questions on career plans are popping up left and right. So, this week I dove into research on the highest paid jobs for anthropology graduates. I tried to make sure there was a mixed bag as far as education levels go which should be helpful to those of you who aren't sure how much school you would like yo go to. Hopefully this helps all the anthropology students out there!!
Who am I? My name is Alivia Brown and I am currently an undergraduate Anthropology student at UCLA on a mission to find a career that I love. My major does not have a straight forward "path" as many would say and I am not only determined to prove that I can be successful in my major but also demonstrate my ability to find a career that brings me joy. This is my journey to expanding my global and anthropological knowledge. This is my journey to finding the best career I can. This is my journey to finding happiness. This is my journey to success.

Did you know I wrote a course on human evolution? 🧬🦍🦧🐒🌱🌳

I used to stress alot about what I would do with an anthropology major. After some research I laughed at myself as to why I was so worried. Plenty of jobs exist just not titled "anthropologist". Especially in the medical field.
Thank you so much for this!! What did you end up doing?
@@AliviaBrown In the public health domain. With anthropology you could end up anywhere depending on your interests.
That is wonderful! Thank you for sharing :)
What are the jobs in medical field with anthropology major
@@joshuaeliud9748 Hii, can you please explain a little bit more about what you do in the public health domain? thanks
I felt a little bit disappointed when most of the offers where more into marketing or sociology, since I want with a passion to work more in the cultural field aka maybe museums but you know without starving
Hey Aleisa! I completely agree with you actually because I would like to do something directly related to anthropology as well. I normally don't do this but I actually have a part 2 of this video coming out soon and it has a lot more opportunities that I think you may find more intriguing 🤫. Keep an eye out for that so we can "not starve," as you put, it together!
I'm actually a marketing manager, and my social science/anthropology background honestly does help a lot. That said, I actually specialize in nonprofit digital marketing, which I feel is definitely more relevant to my interests/experiences, especially because I was a gender & sexuality studies minor and I work with LGBTQ organizations (and disability nonprofits, and environmental nonprofits, etc.) It definitely pays less than for-profit marketing, but I find it more rewarding
Hi! Thanks so much for sharing this! Viewers can really benefit from hearing experiences such as this one. I think it makes everything a bit more real...
I’m a culture anthro major doing archaeology research at UCLA!! but I really want to incorporate my major with entertainment and try to pitch an anthropological show
What no way! I love hearing from other UCLA students! Are you a graduate student? I love the idea of an anthropological show-we need more ideas like that :)
I’m not in Cali but I’m doing a archaeology degree in Canada. I’m going to st Eustatius next summer to do some underwater archaeology work on some shipwrecks. I’ve always thought archaeology needs a good tv show or Netflix series to get some hype for the field.
hire me :p
The best thing you can do as an anthropology major in the US is to put yourself in a position of cultural vulnerability (ie visiting developing nations). The culture shock alone will make you realize how dumbed down our westernized society makes us. The other lesson will be an understanding of how privileged we are to even study other cultures, artifacts, languages, etc.
Alivia, I am sharing this fantastic clip with students taking my Intro to Anthro at CSU Monterey Bay. Keep up the amazing work you do!
Yess! Wonderful video (as always😉). I'd really like to see the 2nd part of this and also it would so nice of you if you could include more about jobs on forensic anthropology, research field, etc. Tysm ❤️
I would love to do that! It's great to hear there is a demand for videos like this! And honestly I want to make an entire video about forensic anthro so it's on my list. Thank you!
Awesome, I’m also studying anthropology and I found myself stressing out so much!!! This video really pumped me up and made me feel a lot better. Thank you ☺️
This comment warms my heart so much I am so happy to hear that. We got this!!
Great video! I would add IT or programming to that list. Over the years I have met more than a few people with backgrounds in history, sociology, and english working in an IT or programming position. There are plenty of programming jobs that only require a degree and train on the job. Many of those jobs can easily make someone $100k+ after just a few years and are not managerial roles either.
Hi Harry-thank you so much for this insight!! It is actually incredibly helpful! I think people in the social sciences can sometimes automatically discount IT careers as an option but this comment really sheds some light on that
I am a bit confused, why would u do an it programming job with a major in anthropology. Why not just take a computer science degree. I don't know about u but I think businesses are way more likely to higher someone in the computer science degree who already knows programming.
@@akshatghoshal6098 Doing computer science is pure code monkey work. Computers are tools that enhance the work, they are not an end in themselves.
As a campaign field organizer, I recruited volunteers, trained interns, knocked on doors, did advanced data entry and made phone calls for presidential campaigns. The most I made was $25/hr, which places this less than positions that are paid but I also lived in places with extremely low cost of living and literally paid $330/mo per rent. Honestly, these positions don't even require bachelor's degrees. And yes, in the course taught by the anthropology PhD (David Karjanen), we covered the visa system, particularly H1 visas.
Hi! I’m an anthro undergrad major at U.C Berkeley! Thanks for having a cheerful outlook on anthropology. :)
Hi! That is so wonderful, I love UC Berkeley!
Bro how you got selected to uc Berkeley.
What ecs you did for this major
Such a great informational video! I would love to see a part 2!
Hi Dominique, thank you so much!! I would love to do that!!
great video Alicia! I’m also an anthropology major and your videos are always so informative for me!
Hello again! Thank you so much skyler, I really appreciate it!
Thanks for the video ! I think that we may add UX researcher to the list, I’m pretty sure that those profiles might be really popular in the Bay Area.
Hi again-this is so helpful thank you!
Yes! Omg exactly. I always stress on the fact that skills that anthropology majors have are so relevant to the UX and human research related jobs.
very helpful video! i'm an anthropology major and i love the subject and learning more and more about human existence but i'm graduating next year and everyone keeps asking me what i'm going to do with it. one job i've been interested in is a national park ranger, although its very competitive, i've seen a few anthropology major go into this field.
I have also heard being a national park ranger is a pretty popular option! I love hearing this video was helpful :) I graduate next year too so the pressure is on haha. Hopefully a part 2 will be coming soon!
"I'm an anthropology major who has no idea what I want to do" 😅 the reason im watching this
Dude I feel it! Every time I think I know, something new comes up 😅
@@AliviaBrown it's overwhelming honestly. When I sit and think about what I want to do with it there's never a specific route to go
Exactly! That's one of my biggest struggles. I'm hoping some of my trial and error can help people who watch these vids on their journey lol. We got this :)
Hello my people very great vedio, let us work hard together as Anthropologists, I need to be researcher but no opportunity, I committed to put Anthropological perspective knowledge in to practice, know the community much then theory
Thank you so much! And yes, it can be challenging to find research positions...that certainly needs to be improved!
Now this video will help to come out of ambiguity after taking Anthropology as major. Really helpful one👍.
But can you please elaborate how can a Anthropology graduate get job in corporate field(Marketing manager or something like that)?
Aw I am so glad to hear that! Yes-corporate anthropology has rapidly become one of my priorities so expect that in the near future!
My neighbor was an anthropology major at University Of Tennessee she loved it
That is amazing!! I love hearing about other people who love Anthro 😊 Thank you for sharing!
It's strange that UX/CX research is not on the list. This role is highly relevant to the skills any anthropologist has. Besides, salaries for such positions in IT industry are pretty good.
I think rather manager positions are for business educated person with masters in human recourses.
Hey... currently i am pursuing anthropology honors from University of Delhi, India. Currently I'm in first year and i want to come USA after my honors degree and i want to go for public relations.can i go for it in USA
It helps me a lot, thank you.
I'm so glad!
You're videos are so helpful! Thanks so much. I'm starting my bachelor's in August and my goal is to incorporate my degree into a career in the national park service. Do you have any information on something like that? Thanks in advance 💝
This is so sweet, I am so happy to hear that! And oh my gosh that is so exciting wow. I think either environmental anthropology could be valuable to look into but also I know there are archaeology programs associated with the national park service that could be helpful to explore. You got this!
Greetings dear! I live in USA and I have BA in Anthropology and MA in development studies thus would you tell me please what sort of jobs can these fields intersection would lead me, ? Look forward to hear your valuable response!!:)
Hi this is great!! I'm actually not an expert in development studies but I have a whole playlist on jobs in anthropology if that helps :) Also, just did some research and seems like "Development Anthropology" could be close to what you're looking for? Heres a link to a wiki article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_anthropology
I’m curious if you looked into professional archaeology at all? I know a lot of anthro people who are going into that after graduating
You can become a professor too!
hey, thanks for the information. Can you make a video about User experience researcher, I know this is another preffesional path in anthropology.
Hi! So glad to hear this information is helpful. I would love to make a video about that! I've actually been learning a lot about these jobs anyway so it could be really fun to make a video about it :)
My b.s. is in anthro. I’m currently getting a masters in human computer interaction and this summer I have my first internship as a UX researcher! Great job for anthropologists and GREAT pay
I'm an Anthropology major and want to go into sustainability and Environmental Anthropology but don't quite know how to narrow my focus. Any suggestions on careers in that realm?
This is amazing! I love hearing that people are interested in fields as great as sustainability and anthropology. In all honesty, I have not interacted a ton with this intersection but I did do a quick google search and ACE (Anthropology Careers & Employment) had a great list! I'll copy the link here for you and best of luck! careercenter.americananthro.org/jobs/environmental-anthropology/
Hi! I love your videos but Im just confused on one thing. I heard many people say that anthropologist and archeologists need a PhD or higher education for their careers. I’m quite unsure if this is just a “rumor” or if it’s harder to get jobs with just a bachelors
Aw, thank you so much! This is a great question and REALLY depends on the career more than the major. I actually made a video to help with this that I will link here: ua-cam.com/video/N6CJ7DCs_XI/v-deo.html. If that doesn't help, reach out to me again and I will share more thoughts!
I am from India and studied in MSc. anthropology ......
Thats awesome!!
Thank you Madam 💓😊
Of course!!
Hi Alivia, iam doing MA in Anthropology. I can go for this job? Or are there any huge differents between MA and Msc in job matter?
Thank you
Of course!
im an anthro undergrad student in Brawijaya, so sad this major in Indonesia is like unseen. can i just move to ur country wkwk. now im still confuse how to start my career. i think that i have to go out from my label as anthro bachelor degree to start my career journey again from 0. just if u know, just imagined, u live in a town that so lots of barista's job vacancy, its like 10000+ that u can find it everywhere & everytime. BUT the criteria is really demanding & complicated. WOW what a poor wkwkwk. wish me luck babe!
I'm currently a public health undergrad student
Is it possible for me to just go on with a master's in Anthropology??
Hello! And yes, absolutely! Many people go for a master's that is different from their undergraduate degree :)
@@AliviaBrown thank you!
@@anglight of course!
Thank you.
Anytime!
I'm about to graduate my masters in anthropology but so worried I will not get a job lol
Hi Shay! That is completely understandable! I have the same concerns as an undergrad as well... Advice I've heard from my higher-ups is to be as open and creative with job applications as possible. And in some ways, I think it is a number game. Trust yourself an the process and good luck!
@@AliviaBrown Thankyou Alivia, appreciate the time and feedback :)
Can I ask if how much do 5 of the jobs earn per month. I am very curios about these majors but i don't know what to do because the media doesn't talk about it much even regular. By the way thank you for making this video that I can understand more.
Hello! I'm actually not sure what the monthly breakdown would be! Maybe divide the final salary by 12 months to get a close estimation! So glad this video could help :)
@@AliviaBrown Understand. Thank you so much
@@Miegi123 Of course!
Hloo alivia
Can you pls elaborate job opportunities with linguistic Anthropology
Hello again! Yes-this is a wonderful idea!
I'm interested in pursuing Socio-cultural Anthropology. In the past I aligned my career goals with the highest projected growth and salaries. However, as I experienced some life further my goals have shifted to prioritize a work-life balance and high job satisfaction.
I'd absolutely love to see a video discussing the most satisfying and/or "fun" but fairly challenging career paths. I'm aware that was an overly specific and personal criteria so I'd conclude with "most satisfying" with the understanding of its subjectivity and limited statistical data. Nonetheless, I'd be more than grateful for just hearing your personal opinion and recommendations.
P.S. I love your content, anthropology content has been scarce in my experience and yours is very informative and entertaining! So thank you so much, I really appreciate all of your work! 🌈🫶🏼🌻
Hi alivia
I am gonna do my Bachelor social science (Hons) in major Anthropology & sociology
Its that possible for me to get a job like in forensic side
Thank you 😁😁
Those are such are such a wonderful combination! It is certainly possible to do a job in forensic anthropology! I'm planning on coming out with a video soon on this topic :)
@@AliviaBrown wow!!superb thank you so much Alivia
It's a wonderfull job
So thats a possibility for us to be in the forensic side
Thank you once again 😉😉😉
@@yehambigaikanapathi7516 Of course!
Hi
hi!
Would you recommend being an anthropology major because my sister said she liked it but I don’t always believe her
Hi! I would highly recommend being an anthropology major!
If you don't mind can i talk to u please
Hi! Yes, what would you like to know?
so if someone found the major intresting but the salary was a more important factor to them they shouldn't really pursue this degree cuz most of these jobs have their own college majors
There’s more jobs out there for Anthropology tbh 😎
Right? There are many!
Lawyer? With a major of Anthropology, study something else? Really?
