"Anthropology is one of those rare fields that touches on all others. It is not a "conveyor belt" to a specific job, but, rather, an avenue to reach many possible career paths. Anthropologists today don't just work in exotic locals, but are making significant contributions right here at home. They can be found working in the health care field, in education, and for non-profits, as well as for governmental organizations like NASA and the United Nations. Anthropology is mainly about two things: Understanding and engagement. It seeks to make sense of this world we share and uncovers new ways to transform the world and ourselves. It takes on issues of social justice, from preserving the environment to preserving languages and culture.
In short, the cultural awareness that you'll gain with an education in anthropology can make you better in your field, and help you to make a better world for us all." (University of Washington)
