These sound like great marketing tools. Look into advertising and promotional organizations. Perhaps research firms, seeking trends in buying or traveling patterns.

I am 'differently abled' or a 'person with a disability' or more correctly, a constellation of disabilities: asperger's syndrome,multiple sclerosis, visual problems, etc. I have maneged to earn a bachelors degree in Sociology and anthropology from Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia by 1989. Thus it took me 25 years after having started at Sacramento State College in 1964. If worse comes to worse you will have to do menial work while you 'participant observe'. Participant observation is perhaps the central method of Anthropology. If you are more lucky, you might get work in the field of 'human resources'. If you are very clever, you might design a community somehow. If you are unlucky, it won't matter. Weber wasn't catatonik for nothing.
Cheers,

* The World Bank is interested in people with your degree -- they would have a variety of positions.
* Marketing researchers or Associate Researchers
* Museum or library. Did your course curriculum include museum courses? If so, check for job listings with museums in the state you want to live. (I had a friend with an anthropology degree who became the museum director shortly after graduation.)
* Non-profit. web site idealist.org has a job listing site with a filter for country, language, area or interst. I put in "anthropology" and "museum educator" came up.
*Have you considered policy work?
*Policy work in Bio-ethics is a growing field and will continue to grow as new discoveries will allow humans to alter themselves.
* policy on any health issue

I know a lady, doctor, who is the anthropologist in charge of a Native American tribe. She works with the forest service, I believe, and is responsible to protect Native American lithographs and pictographs and other things like that. Without a doctorate, I really don't know what you could do but teach with the exception of a few jobs like the one I mentioned.
