Summary
The perfect career for those with a strong mind and a love
for critical thinking and puzzles.
Wouldn’t you love to figure out why the ancient Chinese
thought they were the only ones on earth? That’s the job of
an anthropologists. They figure out a peoples’ interactions
with other cultures.
Sure, sure. They don’t get as much attention and love as the
diggers (archaeologists), but, hey, someone has to be able
to explain how pots from the Caddo made it on a Cherokee
burial ground. Were they gifts? Were they stolen? These are
the questions asked everyday by anthropologists.
So, the field is not for the faint of heart… or mind. This is job
for those that love taking on difficult and challenging puzzles,
and that don’t crack under pressure.
Are you up to it?

College
The top anthropology program is widely considered to be at
the University of Florida. Other top programs include the
University of California in Los Angeles, University of
California Santa Cruz, and University of Washington-Seattle.
Again, this major is similar to the job field. It’s perfect for
people who love to understand how things work and to piece
together clues. This is a major that relies heavily on field
work, similar to the archaeology major.
The education requirements are similar to those of
archaeology as well. An undergraduate degree is sufficient
but it is suggested that a higher degree of education should
be reached.

College
Arizona State University is considered to be the top
institution for archaeology. It is ranked at the top along with
schools like Texas A&M, University of Texas at Austin,
Michigan State University, and University of Central Florida.
Students that become Archaeology majors get to do more
than assist at excavations. Students get the opportunity to
explore remains of great natural occurrences, such as the
Great Chicago Fire, the remains of an old Tabasco factory,
or a forest where Gen. George Washington was believed to
have camped with his men.
Just like the job field, the major is filled with exciting day-today tasks that would hold anyone’s interest.
An undergraduate degree (B.A. or B.S.) is sufficient enough
to work in the field, though it is suggested to get a higher
degree.

Summary
Archaeologists have the most hands on experience
when it comes to historical jobs. One day you could be
doing a dig to learn about the Incas and Conquistadors
in Peru, the next you could be unearthing the bones of
what could be an extinct animal.
The field of archaeology, while a difficult one, is very
rewarding. Everyday on the job you have a chance to be
published for your next great discovery. This job is sure
to keep even the most adrenaline obsessed people
occupied for a long time.
While you learn similar details as a geographer or
historian, the information presents itself in a unique way.
Come on, would you want to learn about the French and
Indian War from a book or from seeing the actual bodies
and weapons from the war?
