The Life of an Anthropologist does not have to be limited to teaching or digging in the dirt!
| Applied Anthropology is commissioned by
an organization outside of academia. May be to provide social
and cultural background on particular people, but clients will
expect advice on the administration of particular policies and
programs that deal with human service. Applied
Anthropologists need to know policy analysis and understand the
process of decision making.
Usually, applied anthropology is done by anthropologists working out of a university for an outside agency, and the topic is not selected by the anthropologist. |

Practicing Anthropology allows trained people to use
their skills and knowledge fulltime outside of academic
settings, for practical purposes. Practicing
anthropologists engage in action, administration, and
implementation.
Practicing anthropologists may be hired by a number of services, including consulting companies, public service agencies, nonprofit private organizations, and government organizations, such as, CASE, Oxfam, or the Red Cross. |
