Not a very helpful comment UCB (and I disagree that Chemistry is a “bad” major; Unemployment among BS level chemists is far lower than among many other non-professional degrees). OP wants to know about her D’s current choice.

I think anthropology is a tough sell at the moment, but good science writers seem to be in demand. It’s not the sort of field where you can expect a recruiter to come to campus to search you down, but in this on-line age that’s not as big a handicap as it once was. If I were you I would encourage your D to aggressively pursue internships to try to get a foot in the door as a science writer.
