Could becoming a professor in Anthropology worth it?

[jarklor05]

Becoming an anthropology professor would be truly amazing. However, some people have told me to go for a real job. In other words, it isn't a safe option.

However, money isn't important to me as it is for other people. Going for a PhD is really expensive and getting a job I heard is difficult. However, I am willing to work hard, move far away for a job if I have to (or even out of the country), and other things too.

Do you think that becoming a professor in anthropology would be worth it if I truly have the passion?

Thank you.

I do! I mean...if this is what you are truly passionate about doing, if your hearth is in it, and you are willing to take the risk , you should. But, this is generally like any other job- there is competition! you have to build yourself UP in order to step through the door somewhere. It might be heard, but you must know if it is worth it for you
