It's the major of choice for fake prodigies who go to East-SouthEast Nowhere State College at age 13.
I’m OP. The kids I’m referring to are at Princeton, Duke, and Wake Forest. Not nowhere schools.

From non-T20 type schools it seems to be a very different and significantly less successful market.
Agree. its a good T20 (private) major. Public flagships, not at all. and below T25, yikes.
Mostly women.

I recently volunteered in an archeology related area. There were several volunteers who work at cultural resource management (CRM) firms. I did not such an industry existed. They told me that they are hired by governments, developers etc as part of infrastructure projects. They said that they hire archeologists as well as anthropologists.

If I could go back to school for cub, that’s what I would study. It fascinates me!
Job prospects do seem uncertain without grad school at least.

I studied anthropology and then became a journalist and author.
It's the most humanistic field (I have two other bachelors degrees as well, but anthropology changed my thinking the most)

Note that archaeology represents a separate track from cultural anthropology.

Maybe it’s just coincidence, but we’ve been hearing about a lot of Cultural Anthropology majors, both on our college tours and via our friends’ kids.
Can anyone with first-hand experience tell us more about what this current generation of kids are studying via this major? And what are they doing with it after college? Thanks!
