This paper reports the results of the National Association for the Practice of Anthropology‐sponsored 2019 American Anthropology Master's Career Survey. Aimed at replicating the 2009 American Anthropological Association/Committee on Practicing, Applied, and Public Interest Anthropology MA Career Survey, the purpose of this new survey was to understand 1) how master's degree anthropology alumni have crafted careers, 2) what retrospective advice they have for departmental programs, and 3) whether they continue to identify with the profession. A total of 850 participants completed the survey. Parallel to the 2009 survey, applied anthropologists indicated overall satisfaction with their master's degree programs and reflected high variability in types of employment respondents hold. However, the lack of practical skills development and career preparation within master's programs were critiqued. We conclude with recommendations for anthropology programs to help better inform them of what their students need to learn in order to lead successful careers after graduation.

“应用”教育：2019年美国人类学硕士职业调查数据的重点回顾

本文报告了由美国国家人类学实践协会赞助的2019年美国人类学硕士职业调查结果。旨在复制2009年美国人类学协会/实践，应用和公共人类学委员会职业调查，这项新调查的目的是了解1）硕士学位人类学校友如何打造职业生涯，2）他们有什么回顾性建议部门计划；以及3）是否继续与专业保持一致。共有850名参与者完成了调查。与2009年调查平行的是，应用人类学家对他们的硕士学位课程表示总体满意，并反映出受访者所持就业类型的高度差异。然而，有人批评在硕士课程中缺乏实践技能的发展和职业准备。最后，我们提出了人类学课程的建议，以帮助他们更好地告知他们的学生，他们需要学习什么才能在毕业后领导成功的职业生涯。
