My ideal job

My ideal job is in the area of investigation of physical anthropology, I don't know yet in which specific area, because I really like all that such as forensic anthropology, biological anthropology, human ecology, genetic anthropology, bioarchaeological anthropolgy, etc. For this job I need to have the knowledge of the specific area, a master or Ph.d, and good ideas to make an important investigation about new topics or about somethig important or relevant for the society or even about some topic of my interest.
I think I will be good at this job, because I'm interested in this matter, and I'm a person who does well what I want, with enthusiasm and interest.
The only problem is that it is difficult to find a job like this, because there is a lot of people intersted in the same thing so the competition is hard, and also the people need a very good curriculum, with good references and marks. So it's not eas to make an investigation about the subject I want, sometimes it is easy to work in other people investigition, its diffficult to have your own.
