    My potential career choice is either studying the arts or joining the marines. So anthropology in my opinion doesn`t necessarily apply to my choices. If I were to study anywhere it would be either Australia/New Zealand or Japan because all three are countries I adore and I feel like their is alot of knowledge in japanese history.
