Ha, I was wondering where the name Anthrobytes came from (love it!). I have
an anthro degree too. I took a curriculum development course last year and
at one point the instructor asked the class what we thought was the most
valuable degree a person could have. We got the usual expected answers;
medicine, law, education, etc. The instructor, who is the most enlightened
and intelligent person I have ever met said "no, anthropology" and he went
on to explain why. I think it was the first time I ever heard anyone other
than an anthro prof. or student say anything positive about an anthro
degree.

I have worked in the museum field, have been a police officer, and for the
past 8 years a technical writer. My training in anthropology has been
immensely valuable in each of those careers. I wouldn't trade it for
anything; in fact, I think I will go back for more.
