In this weeks video, I will be sharing my experiences as a UCLA Anthropology Graduate! One of the biggest questions I get is what do you do with an anthropology major after college. I am so excited to answer all of your questions in what may be my longest youtube video yet. I will be talking about my job, how anthropology is related to my job, and so much more. Thank you for all the questions!!

Who am I? My name is Alivia Brown and I am a recent UCLA Anthropology graduate on a mission to find a career that I love. My major does not have a straight forward "path" as many would say and I am not only determined to prove that I can be successful in my major but also demonstrate my ability to find a career that brings me joy. This is my journey to expanding my global and anthropological knowledge. This is my journey to finding the best career I can. This is my journey to finding happiness. This is my journey to success.

I'm having an extremely important Ph.D. interview for Sociocultural Anthropology at a well-known University since I have a background in Architecture I was badly stressed. Reviewing your videos just brightened up my mind and I feel great! Good Job Girl, You Rock!

Hi, I really like your videos and have been binge-watching them. As someone who is an anthropology major in a CC and is currently transferring your videos have been incredibly helpful. I have been feeling some doubt as to whether I should still pursue anthropology with a focus on archeology but you help me remember why I love this field so much. I was hoping to transfer to UCLA since I'm from LA however I do not think I will get in because of how competitive it is. I will continue to watch your videos in my transfer journey and I aspire to one day be like you. Hope your new job goes well. ☺

As a recruiter, I have seen degrees so devalued in the last decade that I rarely pay much attention unless the degree is in a science or maths based field. I would advise a young person to go out into the world until they are in their early twenties and gain real world experience in anything. And only then go to University and do a 'proper' subject not a 'fluff' degree.

Hi Alivia, what would you say is the difference between UK and US anthropology undergraduate degrees?

@yansce Жыл бұрын

Hi! Alivia! Thanks for making these helpful videos. I'm currently thinking of switching from a physical science, biology (immunology), into a social science, specifically anthropology (cultural; took a course in undergrad and stuck with me) as its much more aligned with my personal goals and values. Another big reason of why I am looking to switch is that I don't love doing biological research, in a lab for 10+ hours a day... can you please tell me a little bit about the kind of research/field research you've done in your anthro undergrad, and/or what kind of projects you got to work on? This would help me so much, thank you :)

@AliviaBrown Жыл бұрын

Hello! I would love to share! I actually worked on a lot of different biological anthropology research projects in college but my favorite one was using evolutionary theory to understand women's physical activity patterns. For a class, I made a research video on it that I'll link here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i5ubn7mdp7yXm3U.html. Much of my time was spent doing literature reviews, talking with participants, and working with other research assistants to prep materials, etc. I hope this helps and let me know if you have any more questions!

This may seem quite odd to you (And to most of the people) - I am an undergraduate student of Civil Engineering and currently in 4th year. But with the time, I have got a huge interest in HISTORY & ANTHROPOLOGY. I want to do my masters and phd in anthropology - really want to know about me : who am I, why am I here, how my ancestors lived. Can I do masters in the USA and create my future? (Without having the undergrad degree in anthropology)

I waited approximately 1 - 2 months before I was hired as a field organizer for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. I took organic chemistry, but I definitely could have focused more on biology during my undergraduate if I had the resources. Environmental public health was interesting, but I could have balanced it.

Hello! Im currently studying in high school and im trying to figure out the career that i should pursue in future. Since I have an interest in history, i think anthropology would be quite suitable for me but the main question Is that moving from india to other foreign country for a career in anthropology worth it?

@AliviaBrown Жыл бұрын

Aw that's amazing! Do you prefer learning about people of the past or present? Usually this helps :) Anthro tends to be more presently focused while history is well, historic!

@Nazinsky Жыл бұрын

@@AliviaBrown Honestly, I'm unsure. I received a scholarship to do Genocidal Studies, which is really important to me.. but I am so unsure. I've done a lot of History classes in HS (obviously), but never anything with Anthro since it just isn't available where I live. I love people and the study of culture, but separating past and present in that regard is difficult since it is all super fascinating to me.

@AliviaBrown Жыл бұрын

That totally makes sense-it sounds like you have some really amazing interests! Have you ever read an ethnography before? They are essentially the books anthropologists write after doing field work. I highly recommend "Tuhami" and "The Pastoral Clinic" if not (check trigger warnings). Maybe reading a little more about what anthropologists do and create would help? Lmk!
