What jobs can I get with an archaeology or geography degree?

• Answer:

  Clarification: You do not state about what level of degree for archaeology or geography you are asking. For archaeology related careers, I refer you to this PDF document, a 2-sided brochure from the Society of American Archaelogy (SAA): http://www.saa.org/Portals/0/SAA/Public/resources/SAA_PathBrochure.pdf It discusses education levels (Bachelor's Degree, Master's Degree, and Doctorate - PhD.) and possible employment settings. You can also learn about careers in archaeology on these SAA web page: * http://www.saa.org/AbouttheSociety/Publications/ArchaeologyandYou/Chapter3ArchaeologyasCareerorAvocation/tabid/1009/Default.aspx * http://www.saa.org/ForthePublic/FAQs/ForStudents/tabid/101/Default.aspx (be sure to click on the links on this web page) As for geography, the U.S. Dept. of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics has some good information on jobs/careers in using geography degrees in this PDF publication (16 pages long): http://www.bls.gov/opub/ooq/2005/spring/art01.pdf The Association of American Geographers (AAG) also gives information about jobs: * http://www.aag.org/cs/jobs_and_careers/where_geographers_work/overview If you need more information about either discipline and potential places of employment, then I recommend you visit your local library (public library or campus library, if you are a college/univ. student.) A reference librarian can help you find good, up-to-date information in both books and periodical/journal articles. Best wishes
