My Career Research

The two careers that my research has lead me to are, Sports doctor (M.D.) and, Cultural Anthropologist.  With both of these careers being something that I have had great interest in for some time now.
With being a sports doctor (M.D.) you could work in a wide range of work environments according to Healthcarecolleges.net, varying from:

• Family practices
• Private companies
• Non-profit organizations
• Hospitals
• College and Universities
• Outpatient centers
• Federal, state, and local government organizations
• Sports teams
• Clinics

The required training to become a licensed practitioner are to complete your undergrad in pre-med, med. school, and then your residency.  Before becoming a resident you do need to pass the United States Medical Exam.  The road to becoming a sports doctor is not one to be taken lightly, but it has rewards that can exceed the complications you face on the way.  Most of the duties are to advise with sports related workouts and also to advise on nutrition, hydration, and overall health.  A sports doctor would also work to avoid serious injury with the athlete. The job outlook is very good for the medical profession with the career expected to expand 20% or more over the next decade says, Bureau of Labor and Statistics.  The salary of a Sports doctor is approximately 240,000 according to, salary.com.  The salary also can vary from what type of work environment you are in whether it be in the field with a sports team, or in a family practice setting.
A cultural anthropologist duties would include doing research and studies on recent and historical civilizations.  Most anthropologists would specify in one area of study whether it be in:

• World Pre-history
• Primatology
• Urban Ethnography
• Medical Anthropology

The education or training required to become a Cultural Anthropologist is to get a BA degree in Anthropology.  In this field those with a Graduate degree as well are more likely to be hired. Most of the working environments that are associated with cultural anthropology are mostly museums, universities, hospitals, and penitentiaries.  Some jobs will also require you to travel to a specific area for research and observation.  The job outlook for this career is very good and is projected to be on the rise for the next decade.  The growth is explained by the need for more scientific and technical consultants that can analyze such matters as economical and medical issues.  The Bureau of Labor and Statistics has reported that the average salary for an anthropologist is about 58,000, but those employed by the government have reported making up to 72,000 a year.
