Just wondered if anyone has studied this subject at degree level, or intend to study it.

I'm going to be studying it at Durham Uni starting this coming September, and just wanted some feedback on other folks experiences. :cheesy:

    Yes, loads of people have studied this.

    Because Anthropology is "interesting" rather than job-related, it has tended to attract students from very upper-class backgrounds.

    And since Durham is also popular with wealthy and privileged people, your course is likely to be a passport to an extremely lucrative career in the City or Investment Banking.

    God knows how I got on this degree then lol, I'm certainly not from an upper class background, unless there's something someone isn't telling me ;)

    It certainly is an interesting subject, and I do hope it leads to good job prospects, got to say tho' not keen in working in the city or banking, but I suppose when needs must....
  • More experience required please :p
