Depends on the subfield. Archaeology is in high demand due to historic preservation laws.
But yeah capping out is annoying, but also common in a lot of fields.

There’s a lot of jobs in the private and public sector for people with anthropology degrees. In the US, anthropology is taught as a four field approach encompassing Biological Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology, and Archaeology.
Each of the subfields have different levels of hireability based on a bachelor’s degree.
I personally only have a bachelor’s and live well. I have a home and live comfortably. But, to your point, I have essentially capped out my earnings. I can’t make more without obtaining a graduate degree.

I have my doubts on if they’ve ever worked a job.

No, it’s not. When people use the term “unskilled” for jobs it doesn’t mean “you literally have to have zero skills, not even the ability to user your hands, to do it” - it means you only need a limited skill set and is a job that has minimal economic value. Essentially it’s a job that anyone at any stage could walk into and be able to do with minimal training.
That has always been how the skilled/unskilled labor gap has been broken up.
You’ve bought the lie they’ve been telling forever. Every person that goes to work is performing skilled labor. The only thing we do that doesn’t take any skill is being born rich.
Rich assholes that do nothing other than “invest” into a buisness. Every dime made from there is off the backs of working folks. Without our skills the wealthy would be poor.

The minimum wage when it was instituted was designed to represent the minimum wage needed for a single worked to support a family.
Additionally all labor is skilled labor. You either need school or experience to perform a job. I can drop a highly educated neurosurgeon into a restaurant. Without instructions they will fail at the job.
Anyway, all labor deserves a living wage. If you work a full week you should be able to support yourself comfortably.

This explains why people gave me a hard time for getting an anthropology degree…

Also some people no matter how intelligent just can’t fully grasp a new language. They can become functionally fluent but never academically perfect

You can spend 200 years listening to a language, but if you dint try to understand it you never will

My city owns all our utilities. Works the same, arguably more reliable

This isn’t a choice issue. It should be state owned and operated in a non-profit capacity, and everyone should pay their fair share.

And here I am going to get a MA in Archaeology lol.
It’ll work out hopefully. I have been gainfully employed in the field off of just my BA, but Trump has basically ruined that job

My only hope for the future is that younger generations seem to not care about “political dynasties”. I’ll never understand the boomers obsession with ensure one family keeps power for generations. It doesn’t make sense

No need to come at me, the fact of the matter is the majority of people won’t take time. I’m take the time, but most won’t. If you want the biggest impact you’ll always draw the largest crowds on a weekend.
I don’t disagree with you I’m just being pragmatic. A protest of 1,500 is a bigger deal than a protest of 200. That’s the typical difference in my city with weekend vs weekday protests
- Comment on Happy No-more-USA Day 1 month ago:
I think the lead brained boomers are a lost cause.
The group to convince are the unengaged or those that just vote a certain way without putting much thought.
- Comment on Happy No-more-USA Day 1 month ago:
At least in my city we are fortunate that the government buildings are located at a key intersection. Weekdays we usually just get heckled by lead brained boomers. Weekends there are way more cars, a more diverse audience, and more support in general.
- Comment on Happy No-more-USA Day 1 month ago:
It just simply won’t have the same turnout. Frankly I think weekend protests are more visible since the average person is more likely to be out and about and not at their job.
I think making the people see it and then you pressure the politicians. The politicians don’t give a fuck if thousands of people are gathered outside a building.
I attend my local protests and take the time off to do so. The last no kings protests pulled well over 1,000. Other weekend protests typically pull around 300 - 400 people. Weekday protests typically pull barely 100, if we’re lucky 150 people. It just has less impact.
