Clean your desk bro, it looks like shit. Mine is always neat, but then again, I'm very precise when it comes to the location of objects on my deks. OCD as fuck

It's not that bad...

Anyone here that studies or has studied anthropology or something similar? I'm looking into studying something like that next year

Hope you like getting your hands dirty.

why is that?

I have a friend who's studying it. Pretty much one of those 'do it because you love it, but don't expect to gain anything' type degrees.

Yeah, kinda figured that.

There is nothing of the sort AFAIK. Maybe floppy is thinking of forensic anthropology and newbie was thinking of archeology

woops, didnt realise it was floppy posting it. I'm suddenly taking it a lot less serious.

I always figured it was a study about human behaviour and cultural development with a bit of biology(just to know how a person works/thinks) and some psychology

Thats my greatest fears with those kind of studies. You end up teaching or stay on the uni as a researcher. They told me the same shit biology when i asked em what u could do with it. They fell a bit silent and then told me you could teach....  or... maybe do a little research on the uni. Thats when i decided not to study biology

Biology is probably not too bad in that you can always go into something medically related if that stuff interests you. I know someone who's gone from biology into banking (but you get into banking from pretty much anything, alot of engineers do it) but you can always do stuff like medical writing or move on to post-grad medicine.

Anthropology is more likely to land people in something really generic like admin or management.

Meh most 'interesting' courses are like that. At least you do something you enjoy for 3 years.

Yeah thats true, but 3 years of fun for 30 years of shit. seems a bit silly

Wow lots of old timers coming back to the forums with the bf3 announcement.

If bf2s tracks bf3 stats we could have an actual community on our hands again omg!

depends - biological anthropology tends to open up avenues to other shit. One of my friends is studying at Cambridge for her phd, has a masters and undergrad in biological anthropology.  Or you could go cultural anthropology, if you like the sort of stuff from Jared Diamond (Guns Germs and Steel, Collapse).  But like others have said, there's not too many career-oriented avenues in the private sector for either.

I was going for cultural, good thing it was just sort of an idea and not my whole plan for next year. The proble with the study is, I don't give a shit about people and their lives. I find people fascinating, but in the same way i find most animals fascinating.

to England?

where u going
