88. No I'm not an Anthropologist by profession, but much of what I did study..
...as a Cultural Anthropologist has certainly carried over into my everyday life. It touches on a little bit of everything, i.e. human psychology, sociology, history, etc. It certainly has made me more of a well-rounded person. So I have no regrets what-so-ever. Plus, I enjoyed it. Also, I may have never graduated if I had to sit in class for 4 years going after something like an accounting degree playing with a calculator. It would have bored me to tears. I enjoyed the topic, which made college more enjoyable.

I know what he means about finding "Anthropologist Wanted" in the paper. If you are wanting to pursue it as a career, you would really have to go further with it to the Masters and Doctorate level. I was working on my Masters at a different university when I was asked by the department head to kindly leave the department over philosophical differences he and I had. I was young in those days, and of course with all my youthful wisdom, knew more than he did on how to run his department. I was shown the door...

But, again, to answer you question, I don't regret it one bit.
