What careers can i get w/ a sociology degree?

Answer 1

Well, I have one and not much w/o a master's which I am now working on. I wanted to work w/ troubled kids so that's what I have done for the past 13 years. Rewarding work but very tough work and you don't get much of a personal life. I am not sure what else you could do w/ it, but I am sure there is more. You will just never make much money!

Answer 2

A sociology background is excellent for a wide variety of fields. You may need to grunt it out to get basic professional experience at a lower than hoped for pay (if you don't go on beyond bachelors)...but your research mind/studies and broad views on people and how they relate will serve you well.
