View submission: MA alternatives for non-career anthropologists
I mean, the reason we so often advise people not to get an MA is because there's a pervasive but unfounded belief that getting an MA will allow people to get a job "as an anthropologist". With the exception of archaeologists working in cultural resources management, this is rarely the case.
That said, if you are interested in pursuing an MA simply because you want to learn, I see no reason to tell you not to. When you say:
There's been a few posts from users who are pursuing studies purely for personal enrichment, and have been cautioned that an MA won't suit them well.
Are there examples you're thinking of?
