Answer by araktsu
If you plan to study any of these then you had better plan to read a lot. I have left links to Wikipedia for overall descriptions of the subjects of interest: sociology, anthropology and archeology. If you are not willing to read that much to find out, college is not for you because you will have a lot of required reading in college! School is supposed to supply you with the opportunity to gain knowledge, some basic academic skills, and critical thinking; a career, maybe.
The degree vs. salary curve applies almost exclusively to academic environments and government work. No degrees lead to a career; some careers require a degree as far as employers are concerned. There exists in some academic and government bureaucracies the belief that the higher the degree one has, and the more exclusive or prestigious university it came from, the more status and authority one deserves, as well as a higher salary. That is driven by the propensity for a bureaucracy to perpetuate itself, not practical or rational factors.
The reader does not know what your circumstances are or why you would choose any of these fields. Also the reader does not know what your resources are or if you wrote your question because you were looking for fill for a commercial blog or actually have interest in learning more.
No degree in social science leads to insight and knowledge unless you plan to study and reason a lot while you are pursuing the degree. You are likely to acquire a bit of knowledge just from doing the absolute minimum amount of study to pass tests.
If you want to read about career opportunities, search for a college site that offers instruction in any of these subjects. They will have brochures or information online from their career center to guide you in hopes of acquiring more paying customers.

Q&A: What qualifies someone with an anthropology degree to work in a zoo?
Question by B1ujay: What qualifies someone with an anthropology degree to work in a zoo?
When I look at potential careers in anthropology, I consistently see “zoo” as a potential place to work. Is this based strictly on primatology or are there other reasons zoos might hire an anthropologist?
Best answer:
Answer by Ryu
Primatology is a large part of it, but many people who study anthropology also become familiar with animal anatomy through learning about zooarchaeology. In connection to zooarchaeology, an individual can learn about the skeletal structures and features of various species and how they evolved, as well as things such as predation/feeding practices of specific species.
It is, however, a little odd to suggest that someone who primarily studies bones should work with live animals, but it’s not completely illogical even if at first it seems that way.

Answer by Vitki
there is a near infinite number of answers here-
Anthropology studies how our ancestors coped with changing climates, interrelations with other species their environment, religion, interpersonal disputes…the list is literally endless.
One good example you can find at http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/06/070621140809.htm
wherein they discuss why certain people are more suseptible to HIV
and http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/09/090927145354.htm
helps us to understand the source of the virus, while
