1. Market Viability and Job Opportunities
In this age of cut throat competition where downsizing is a buzz word, Anthropologists have openings in almost all sorts of organizations like:
a. International Developmental Organizations (World Bank, United Nations Development Project, Asian Development Bank, US Aid etc),
b. Non Government Organizations (National Rural Support Programme, Agha Khan Rural Support Programme etc),
c. Business Organizations (Marketing, Product Development, Entrepreneurship etc.), Multi National Corporations (McDonald, KFC, Telenore etc.),
d. Educational & Government Institutions and Policy Making Bodies.
This market viability is because of the special mental model based on Holistic, Emic and Relative perspective of Anthropology that is ingrained in its graduates.
