It sounds like you are more interested in Ethnography, Anthropology of Consciousness, and Anthropology of Religious Studies. I believe those would be concentrated under Social Cultural Anthropology on a graduate level. What you are interested in just isn’t well supported in the UC system. You may want to consider a small private college that may more suit your interests. Your other option is checking out a out of state (country) college like University of British Columbia which has an excellent Anthropology program as well.
The primary way you can make money in that sub field is getting your PhD and becoming a professor and/or writing books of interest. Realize the competition is fierce to become a University level full time faculty Anthropology instructor even if you earn your PhD. You would have to independently or through the University have published papers to be taken seriously.
