Question
I want to be a Anthro Journalist that travels all over the world to report stories, I want to know if this is a good field to go into.

Answer
Hi Leea,

It is a job that is very hard to get into. You may want to contact National Geographic or the Travel Channel but it is not very probable.  How are your photographic skills?  

You may want to consider getting an education in media production or tv production so that you can potentially get into the field via the back door.

UCLA may be the place to go since  they have a good Anthro department and t hey also have a great film department.
