		<description><![CDATA[about Persians claim to be whites!! and aryans!!:
it all begun by Pahlavi regime&#039;s propaganda, you should know that the country iran is consisted of two main ethnic groups, brown- Semitic Persians and semi white Azeri and other Turkic people, now until about 100 years ago it was those Turkic people who were ruling the country and everything was fine with it, but as soon as Persians took control things got changed, Persians tried to assimilate Turkic people with all means possible, and then someone appeared around in the world called &quot;Hitler&quot; and declared that al none Aryan people are best and such, thus Pahlavi begun a new program, since only white people in Iran could be found among those Turkic ones they made a plan to assimilate Iranian Azeris and use them as pure white Aryan Persians! they begun a very vast propaganda, bribed many historians and made a fake history for ancient Persian, (while all Greek references have described Persians as the other way!!).

Pahlavi had many goals by those devises:

1- assimilate Iranian Turks and thus block any separation leanings.

2- buy a better international position for Persians.

3- Compensate the historical obsession of Persian people who were ruled by non persians for almost 14 centuries.

4- Make Persians to hate Arabs and Islam as the personal wish of Pahlavi king was such.

the pressure on Azeris went so high that about 65 years ago they begun an armed movement to separate, but Pahlavi tanks invaded Tabriz and killed many people, from that day Azeris say that Iran has occupied the southern Azerbaijan.

by the way, the name Iran itself is an innovation of Pahlavi regime, they use this name and say it means the land of aryans hence we are aryans! even now persians use documents of iranian Azeris to prove themselves as whites and aryans! even now Azeris are not allowed to teach their own language in their schools.

------------------------

they say such nonsenses like if they are indo Europeans and Arabs are not white like them and such, while Persians are very brown, they look like a mixture between Arabs and Dravidians, the whitest persian could be an arab! i swear most of the arabs are whiter than any persians, but remember that about 40% of iran&#039;s population are of turkic descends. some of them are really white but the majority just have some white traits.

the Pahlavi regime&#039;s propaganda was so immense that many persians actually believed it, they now consider themselves as pure Aryans!! and consider some on called king Cyrus who had no brilliant records as great Cyrus! and almost as a holy god! while he was in fact one of the most notorious kings of Persia and ended up by the hands of real Aryans, a group of scythian proto turkic people had got into current Azerbaijan and defeated and slain king cyrus near the river of Arax, they were led by a woman called Tumruz (Tomyris in greek references).

it appears if scythians (SAKHA proto Turkic people, the first known white ethnics) had the ability of creating some kind of sparks or fire or such a thing, the same thing is also mentioned in Scandinavian and Azerbaijan mythology.

did you know if Persians took Zoroastrian religion from Sakhas?

at those times Persians were not totally converted to Zoroastrianism, Persians were following MITRAISM (worshiping son) before they got in contact with Scythian (SAKHA) proto Turkic people from central Asia and learned the Zoroastrian religion from them, there went a lot of tensions between Persians and SAKHAs until king Cyrus invaded their lands in current Azerbaijan and got slain by them, SAKHAs were led by a woman called TUMRUS (TOMYRIS in Greek accounts).

there are lots of TURKIC words in Zoroastrian books, the AVESTA; though the original version got burnt during Alexander&#039;s invasion.

Just look at what remains of ancient Persia’s cornics and stone shapes, do those people drawed on stones look any kind of white people? Hell no!!
Beside, Ancient Persians were using Ilamits scripts and according to a recent genetic study shown in BBS TV Persians are direct descendant of Ilamits]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is me in four years. lol

I just started my second semester of my freshman year at my local community college. Majoring in Anthropology, with the thought to teach it. I plan to specialize in the Mythology and Occult.

My adviser, the head of our Anth department, has been frank with me about the job market in teaching the subject, but I remain resolute myself. Though, I&#039;ll admit, I&#039;m also thinking outside of my hopeful future job.

Hope to have you as a colleague someday!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would say this - if you are excited about learning and being in anthropology, go for it.  Academia is a vocation, like the priesthood.  You do it because you love it, not for financial reward.  I have a PhD in anthro, 1999, and couldn&#039;t find a job.  I have spent 10 years working in health policy and research and pensions, using lots of my academic skills and making far more money with less aggravation than in academia.  There are lots of non-academic jobs that will challenge your skills and intellect if an academic appointment isn&#039;t in the cards.  The flip side is that in the &#039;outside&#039; world, there are very few PhD&#039;s.  I have been the sole PhD in every organization I have worked for, and that brings some perks.  In academia, the PhD is the price of admission - everyone has one.  Do what you love to do while you have the time and energy to do it.  Having a PhD and the experience is for life, regardless of what you &#039;end up&#039; doing.  Its a lifestyle that can take you places you would never imagine.  Good luck.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the graduate programs you might want to consider is Library Science.  It pays somewhat better than anthropology, if not a whole lot, and there are great academic positions available.  Museums also hire anthro folks.  In both cases you would want to look for an institution which supports your interests and where you might also do some research.]]></description>
