Disabled Veterans: Making the case for studying anthropology

2008-03-28T13:48:00.000-07:00

I am a disabled Veteran. I am currently recieveing a disability rating of forty percent from the Department of Vereran Affairs. While stationed overseas, I injured my back, shoulder, and knees. The reason I am writting this is because I need a bit of help. I'm not sure if anyone reading this is familiar with a program the VA has in place to help disabled Veterans. It is called the Vocational Rehabilition and Employment program. The website, http://www.vba.va.gov/bln/vre/index.htm,, is very informational . I hope that information gained here can help future Veterans that want to go down the same path as me. Right now I am having a hard time finding information on Anthropology careers. In order for my case to continue I need to provide the VA with enough information to convince them that Anthropology is a career field worth pursuing and one that has a future. Any help that can be provided will be greatfully appreciated. Any contact information, or any career information of any kind that could be gathered would help tremendously. I would also like to try and get a list of contacts for future Veterans that are also trying to become Anthropologist. I know this would help others as much in the future as it is helping me. If possible any drafting a proposal as to why Anthropology should be studied and of its importance to the future of buisness or even to the United States itself. Again, i appreciate any help that can be given.
