Pay...
A forensic anthropologist’s salary varies widely depending on specific employer, and experience. For forensic anthropologists, recently launching their careers, their pay consists of $35,000 to $50,000 annually. If employed by a state or federal government, an annual salary varies from $75,000 to $95,000 or higher. There are also various bonuses awarded to forensic anthropologists when testifying in court. Although the career demands years of dedication, the more experience rewards higher positions and the most pay. And after the years of extensive education forensic anthropologists are paid well to do what they’re passionate about.
The Bad Guys...
A forensic anthropology career yields various profits other than salary. Forensic anthropologists provide an identity to someone who was otherwise been forgotten and left to rot. They have the intense opportunity to bring closure to the family of the deceased with every solved murder case. As well as justice to the deceased as the murderer is incarcerated. Forensic anthropologists, like police officers keep crime off the streets, each solved and justified case removes another criminal from the streets.
Forensic anthropologists also have a varying flexible schedule depending on their employer. Someone who is federally employed may have a less flexible schedule than someone who is independently employed. According to the United States Disaster Center, In 2010 the United States murder rate was 14,748. In 2000 it was 15,586. In 2006 it increased to 17,030, and in 1991 murders skyrocketed higher than ever from the 60’s to 2010 with 24,700 murders. The homicide rate has decreased over the years but still varies. As the year fluctuates, a forensic anthropologist may be extremely anchored to their profession, or free to do as they please. A forensic anthropological career introduces various individual and moral benefits, along with pay and varying job flexibility.
