2nd bachelor's degree while geting MA

Honestly, if it were me, I'd do the Social Science concentration on the BALS and cram as many Anthropology courses (with an eye to covering prerequisites for a grad degree) in as I could manage, and then try to get into a master's or PhD program to continue Anthropology. Going back for a second bachelor's seems less useful to me.

They think a BALS is more marketable than a BA in Anthropology?

Are you insinuating that a government agency ought to use rational thought processes?

When dealing with the government it's about the paperwork, and you're really on your own in regards to rational thought.

This is similar to what I suggested in his other thread...use the BALS to get into a master's program in anthropology, and then go on to the PhD.
