Can you say "Do you want fries with that?"

Actually, I have a degree in psychology,. but I taught myself programming and computer system architecture. I write automated testing system infrastructure and security software. It pays the rent and then some.

There's nothing in anthy, unfortunately. You'll have to get a marketable skill.

Wow, these people are negative! It's not all that bad! :)
While most jobs for anthropology degrees require at least a bachelor's degree (and usually more-- I'd recommend getting at least a bachelor's degree when you can), there are a few jobs that an associates degree in anthropology can get you. You can get jobs in the private sector as a "cultural consultant" for businesses. In addition, there are also jobs available in the public sector, particularly with cultural preservation (eg, for Native American programs, or artifact preservation, etc). Alternatively, there are also museum positions available, though probably most of the higher positions require bachelor's degrees.
Good luck!

If you are looking for a career in anthropology then you have about 100 more years of schooling left. A degree in anthropology is useful though for many other jobs, anything that involves people or analysis will give you an advantage.

here are some slightly boring ones: high school teacher professor now the interesting ones: forensic anthropologist, which would require a degree in physical (biological) anthropology. your job would consist of the application of physical anthro to crime scenes with human remains. there's a lot of competition for these spots but you're well paid when you get it. linguist, which would require a degree in cultural linguistics. you would be working in more remote locations studying more remote languages. sometimes this also involves the teaching of a "dying" language to younger generations of the people who once spoke a language. archaeologist, which requires a degree in archaeology. you'd be studying ancient cultures as well as more modern cultures, performing systematic surveys, and finally excavating locations. there's also employment in museum settings, at the UN and in politics, in marketing you can be a cultural anthropologist and go to exotic locations and study the culture, language, social structure of tribal communities like Margaret Mead. perhaps you should research anthropology on your own, because there's so much to say about it and the jobs which you can do that i can't write it all here. type the four sub fields of anthro into google and go from there. (the 4 fields are: cultural anthro, cultural linguistics, archaeology, and physical (biological) anthro

Nice field! Umm... unless you want to be a university lecturer (great job if you can get it), consider pretty much any really large insurance firm or any other company which has its own research and development department, dealing with human perspectives. They may want to have you because as an anthropologist, you are an expert on... people, of course. As the word says. I suppose you would also have certain insights into psychology, based on that? If so, any interface situation will be something for you: From something like a Walmart "Preferred Customer Representative" to an estate agent, car salesperson, or call centre manager, you should fit in.

If you get some experience in archaeology (which is part of anthropology) - ie a fieldschool - you can probably find a job as an archaeologist in Cultural Resource Management (CRM).

You won't get much if all you have is an associates. You should either continue your schooling in the field or get a degree in public or business relations.
