A. Depends upon where in MO. You'll do OK in KC or STL. Not outrageously well but OK. Now, if you're in Springfield, Joplin or Nixa or some place like that, you'll do quite nicely indeed. Wherever you are in MO, $41k - $44k will do you much better than in CA, that's for SURE!

Is the study of folklore considered part of the greater field known as anthropology?
Q. From folklore professors it seems they consider their field distinct from anthropology. What is the need to make this distinction, rather than considering it a subset of anthropology? For example, it seems to me that folklore studies should be considered as physics is to to science. Or is this a good analogy for how folklore professors define their field?

A. Most aren't considering it distinct so much as they consider it to involve a lot of fields of study (and methods) simultaneously. The need for the distinction comes from the way the various fields are studied. Or, in other words, the "method" used in the field. Social/Cultural Anthropology tends toward the ethnographic method. Physics is a science because it is studied via the scientific method. Guitar is sometimes studied as physics too (there's that whole dividing a string under tension - acoustical physics thing) but we don't put the guitar lesson studio in the science department.

What are considered as the high end department stores in the United States?
Q. Besides Saks, Tiffanys and Bloomingdale's, what are considered to be the most extravagant stores in the United States? I like to browse through different websites looking at (daydreaming and drooling over) the extravagant and outlandish gifts that the wealthy buy without even batting an eyelash. Anyone?

A. Neiman Marcus (check out their extravagant Christmas catalog online) and Nordstroms. Tiffany's by the way is a jewelry store, not a department store. If you are including other than department stores, there are many extremely high end designer stores on Rodeo Drive in Hollywood or Worth Avenue in West Palm Beach.
