Rick Scott’s bizarre attack on anthropology majors seemed completely random. Well, apparently his remarks may have had some family drama implications. Turns out that Rick Scott’s own daughter majored in anthropology and never found a job in her field.
Scott tends to keep his personal life pretty personal (remember the hubbub with his brother?), but the Gov’s daughter, Jordan Kandah, majored in anthropology at the College of William and Mary according to The Tampa Tribune.
