Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement
Anthropology is a field that likely isn’t the first to come to mind for many. Despite this, it has proven to be a great major for learning skills that are applicable to many different career paths. ANT 4861, Beyond the Anthropology Major, has not only taught us this but also made us realize just how much the general public as well as employers are missing by not being educated on Anthropological skills. Our project here is meant to highlight how little the average person is aware of what anthropology is and how employers, even those looking for anthropological knowledge, are largely unaware of what the field is or what it teaches through a combination of our personal experiences, collected surveys, and interviews with hiring professionals. We will conclude by discussing what can be done to bridge that gap of understanding and open more doors for everyone regarding the field.
