Haven taken a look at your profile, I think you were correct there in saying that your anthropology degree has been helpful in ways that are not necessarily immediately obvious.

I was an anthropology major myself when I was first an undergrad, then decided that I'd never make enough money so switched to pre-med, then couldn't hack calculus so switched to history, then decided I couldn't make enough money so went to law school.

Umpteen years later my advice is to stick with what you love. Lucky for me I do love law and I love to talk, but I still hanker for the life of a cultural anthropologist. In fact, my approach to most of my clients is as if they are from another culture! Some even from another planet! ;^)

Actually here in Northern VA a lot of my clients ARE from other cultures. Philippines, El Salvador, Iran, Nigeria, Eritrea, Peru, China, Vietnam, France, England, Texas . . . .
