Programming is full of bullshit jobs. I worked at a tech megacorp where one senior developer ended up with a single commit after 12 months on the job. I'm sure you've seen instances where individual roles or even whole teams have been replaced by a couple thousand lines of automation. And I don't know how widespread this is, but I've seen cases where senior managers will just hire people whether they need them or not to inflate their headcount. I'm not going to defend every single professor of anthropology, but "studying human societies and cultures and their development" sounds like a useful thing in general and is exactly what this work is.
