• CONS
• anthropology is not a "marketable" skill
  according to a lot of workplaces
• I have a career in marketing now, so it does not
  have anything to do with my major necessarily
• you will most likely need to obtain an advanced
  degree (masters or doctorate) to do much in the
  actual field of anthro, otherwise undergrad-level
  jobs don't pay as well

• even just the reading, critical thinking, and
  writing skills you will develop are skills that
  can potentially help in a future job
