    There’s a lot of jobs in the private and public sector for people with anthropology degrees. In the US, anthropology is taught as a four field approach encompassing Biological Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology, and Archaeology.

    Each of the subfields have different levels of hireability based on a bachelor’s degree.

    I personally only have a bachelor’s and live well. I have a home and live comfortably. But, to your point, I have essentially capped out my earnings. I can’t make more without obtaining a graduate degree.

        Depends on the subfield. Archaeology is in high demand due to historic preservation laws.

        But yeah capping out is annoying, but also common in a lot of fields.
