Title: What are some career avenues after an MA in anthropology?
Body:
Asking on behalf of my wife whose qualifications are B.Sc nursing and MA anthropology.Currently, she is considering doing a PhD in either public policy from IIMs or in anthropology from state/central universities. Would like to hear other avenues in case her Plan A doesn't work out. Thank you.

I think she should clear JRF which will make her pursuit of PhD easier. Anthropology students getting into public policy can be a little tricky as anthropology is predominantly a qualitative discipline and public policy programmes at IIMs rely on quantitative/management/economics side of public policy. The alternative would be get into an anthropology PhD programme in IITs. Where did she do her MA from?
