Re: Does a BA "Make" an Anthropologist?

I am not an anthropologist but would like to go back to school in the Fall
of 1996 to finish my BA in Anthropology.
Please excuse my neophyte question but my interests in anthropology do not
lie in doing field work abroad. Do all anthropological studies rely in
doing work abroad? Is that the only way to be considered an "anthropologist?"
I am interested in genetics vs. behavior and I am also interested in
family relationships and how they translate in work relationships,
intimate relationships, etc.
After lurking on the list for a while, I am not even sure that this can be
considered anthropology.
Can anyone provide me with some (positive ) feedback. Any information
would be helpful.
Thanks.
