You're a major, NOW what? Careers in BioAnthro Here are two brochures sponsored by the American Association of Physical Anthropologists, plus some UCSD-specific comments. I have added a few links to make them interactive, but otherwise the brochures are as printed by the AAPA.

A Career in Biological Anthropology	This AAPA brochure written mainly for high-school or 1st-year students, pretty basic but a good introduction to the field, and talks a bit about academic careers.
Non-Academic Careers in Physical Anthropology	This AAPA brochure is intended for folks who have more background in BioAnthro (most people use "biological anthro" and "physical anthro" interchangeably, though the former implies more emphasis on developmental/physiological focus, the later on bones and measurement).
UCSD-specific career comments	Some free opinions from Jim Moore, worth every cent! ;-)
UCSD majors' survey	Switch over to the main Anthro page for some actual survey data on what our majors have gone on to do.

While it's thin on specifics, you might be interested in an article one of our grad students received from her parents. It's dated 2/21/99, Gannett News Service, but the actual newspaper isn't given. Exerpts:

In business, it's often a
matter of degree

Don't throw away the MBA degree yet.
But as companies go global and crave leaders for a diverse work force, a new hot degree is emerging for aspiring executives: anthropology.
The study of man [sic] is not longer a degree for museum directors.
Citicorp created a vice presidency for anthropologist Steve Barnett, who discovered early warning signs to identify people who don't pay credit card bills.
Not satisfied with consumer surveys, Hallmark is sending anthroplogists into the homes of immigrants, attending holidays and birthday parties to design cards they'll want.

The article also mentions e.g. anthropologists observing women shaving their legs, to advise on razor design. Hey, it's a living! Apparently there is one undergrad degree in anthro for every 26 in business, and 1 anthro PhD for every 235 MBAs; I'm interpolating here, but let's assume an anthro degree is worth 5% of a business degree to a business. At that rate, an anthro major would have a slight edge over a business major, and the average PhD would win over the average MBA every time!

It mentions University of South Florida having created a course for anthropologists headed for commerce [I didn't find it at the website, but there's a lot of applied anthro courses listed, both grad and undergrad], a Motorola corporate lawyer who got an anthro degree before law school, and cites Ken Erickson of the Center for Ethnographic Research as one of the authorities on the area. Advising corporations "takes trained observation, which is what anthropologists are trained to do."
