A Novice Anthropologist A Novice Anthropologist When I was younger, my family and I were able to take a trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee in order to visit my Aunt Becky, Uncle Jim, and my two cousins, Sarah and Amy. While visiting, I realized the many differences that my family in Tennessee lived with, unlike the routine I went through from day to day. Now that I have an idea of what kind of jobs anthropologists perform while conducting field work, I am able to realize that some of the activities I performed while in Chattanooga, were also typical of an anthropologist. The first thing needed for an anthropologist to conduct field work is permission from the people to have a place to stay. Luckily, my Aunt allowed me to stay in this “alien” land for two weeks, which is actually a very short period in comparison to the two years that a regular anthropologist would stay while conducting their field research. Next, I needed monetary funds to conduct my research on these foreign people. After being rejected for a grant from my father, I gained a one time employment opportunity from my Uncle for cutting his grass, an chattanooga, people, anthropologist, while, time, field, family, research, one, two, about, whether, tennessee, stay, seemed, needed, home, free, first, ever, eating, differences, day, conducting, conduct, begin, activities, able, work, weeks, visiting, uncle, typical, trip, things
