    I wish you were my professor. Thanks for giving me the understanding of what is a cultural anthropology. I had hard time deciding which anthropology class I wanted to take for my next semester in college. Now, I know I want to take cultural anthropology. My goal is to get a degree in geography.

    I've already applied and accepted to do my university degree in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, but today I really stopped and thought to myself; if I couldn't teach English to travel, what would I be interested in? That's when I found out about Cultural anthropology, and I feel like I'm being seduced over to the dark side haha

    The work of Sahlins, Douglas, Mintz and the like skew the idea all cultural anthropologist are interested in living people doesn't it? My favorite definition was always " the study of anything that currently had, once had, or could have anything to do with humanity." Through methodologies Anthropologists can study just about anything.

    • @KinkellaTeachesArchaeology
      @KinkellaTeachesArchaeology  2 года назад +1

      I'm not going to give all those loser cultural anthropologists access to my precious archaeological resources! In other news, I saw Sidney Mintz give a talk when he was in his 90's. He looked like a doddering old man and I thought it was going to be a train wreck, but he was still super sharp and his talk kicked ass.

    • @KinkellaTeachesArchaeology
      @KinkellaTeachesArchaeology  4 года назад +5

      The funny answer is that they are not really all that different. I would say that anthropology is more broad as a discipline, and more global in its reach. A sociologist tends to focus on the culture that they live in. These are broad generalizations though, and of course anthropology is much cooler.

    • @KinkellaTeachesArchaeology
      @KinkellaTeachesArchaeology  4 года назад +7

      I went to UC Santa Barbara (BA), then Cal State Northridge (MA), and finally UC Riverside (PhD). Lots of colleges will work for you, just don't spend too much! In high school, good grades are the best thing. Try to do well in English to get your writing skills up. You don't have to worry about anthropology classes until college. If you have an opportunity as a senior to take a college class in anthro, that might be worth it. Keep on going!

    • @KinkellaTeachesArchaeology

      That is a very involved question. Here's a very short answer - Beyond working in academia, you can work for private companies (as an anthropologist - rare but it does exist!), government agencies, world health/culture groups (and similar). I also know people who used it as a stepping stone to law school. It is also a major that sounds cool, which matters. The American Association of Anthropology (AAA) has lists of job possibilities on their website if you are curious.

    How is this any different from a sociologist or a social-psychologist doing ethnographic fieldwork? I guess I just missed the point there.

    • @KinkellaTeachesArchaeology
      @KinkellaTeachesArchaeology  4 года назад +6

      Anthropologists have the corner on the market of fieldwork more than the others. Sociologists just ain't the same. Plus, saying you are an "anthropology" major is about a thousand times cooler than saying you are a "sociology" major.

    Okay so I have three questions:
    1.) Are you a Anthropologist?
    2.) Are there any specific careers I can take that has to do with cultural anthropology?
    3.) If so, how much is the pay?🤔

    • @KinkellaTeachesArchaeology
      @KinkellaTeachesArchaeology  4 года назад +3

      1. Basically. All archaeology degrees are under the umbrella of anthropology (my degree says "anthropology") but I specialize on people of the past instead of people of the present.
      2. Yes. Medical anthro, business anthro, college professor, work in non-profit field, Peace Corps, Embassy related things. The jobs in cultural are not as clear-cut as in archaeology.
      3. Ranges all over, but tends to be on the lower side (you would be pretty lucky to see six figures)
