Actually, archaeology is a subset. There's a good reason most universities contain them in the same department. It's because archaeologists use the "stuff" to discover what the culture and daily lives and experiences of people were. Same thing as anthro, just set in the past. They're subsets.
Second of all, I never seem to grasp people who don't understand that the world needs more than just people taught to think scientifically. If you plan a city using math and data it'll all be planned well and good, but if you don't know how people interact and exist within a space, chances are that space won't be very user friendly.
Third, I like that you're making predictions about my life and how I'll fare as a teacher while simultaneously knowing nothing about me.
Fourth, anthropology students go on to medical school and related health care schools such as public health, health administration, and nursing, they go into social work, counseling, teaching, law, international development and NGO work, the foreign service, non profit management and other roles in nonprofits, forensics, organizational psychology, etc. if you can't figure out how anthropological study can be catered to a variety of fields you either don't understand the breadth of things and anthropology major can cover, or aren't thinking creatively enough. The marketable skills are there, and if students are smart they complement their degrees with learning languages, tech skills, and others to make themselves even more marketable in competitive fields.
