Or you could work in forensic anthropology-- although like most jobs with these types of degrees you will require additional training and education. A bachelors is not going to qualify you for much.
Seems like you really need to have a clear and motivated passion to go all the way with anthropology, because the return of investment could be negative or low.
Physical anthropology, cultural anthropology, or forensic anthropology? Or applied anthropometry? There are many career paths.
For example, physical anthropologists are frequently employed in zoos, in research roles. Typically this type of career starts as a graduate student, interning as a data collector. Typically a doctorate degree is required to continue this career path.
Cultural anthropologists are typically employed in museums. Here too, an advanced degree in a related field might be useful. For example, history (better if its specific, such as pre-columbian south and central american history, etc).
Product design is a field where anthropologists work as well. For example an automotive company will employ concepts of applied anthropometry to design a car to suit the human form. The anthropologist may be a consultant role.
Whatever route you take, it's one of those fields where you will almost certainly need an advanced degree. History, art, genetics, kinesiology, nutrition, museum science, etc, are all options.

After changing my major twice as a freshman, I changed it once more after I really enjoyed my intro anthropology class. I realized it was not going to open up the sort of career I wanted, much as I loved the classes... so I was the only anthropology major in my law school class.
Civil service exams. Local, state and federal. See what comes up.
I agree govt and insurance companies often hire people with any BS/BA Otherwise look into getting a Master's in a more hard-skills oriented program like accounting, HR, Finance. Look at the job ads you are interested in and see what degrees they want.
