I’m one of those people who’s always known (sort of) what they want to do… I mean, I’ve always known what interests me. If you had asked me at five, I would have told you I’d become a paleontologist. At twelve, the next Jane Goodall. Today? Indiana Jones. Haha.

I’ve always been fascinated by such issues, and I hope to major in anthropology, either cultural or archeological, maybe with a minor in Women’s Studies.

Does anyone else want to major in anthropology? Know of any schools with exceptional programs that a kid like myself (“meh,” to use someone elses words) should look into?

Also, what about career options? Call me shallow if you will, but I’m afraid anthropology is one of those majors where a bachelor’s or master’s just doesn’t cut it financially. I don’t want to have to spend 10 years getting my doctorate before I can earn significant cash, but I also don’t want to major in business (boring, in my opinion).

Please share any thoughts you have!! Please and thank you. :)
