What Can I do with an Associates in Arts with Emphasis on Social Science Degree from Ohio University?

Question

I am really tired of working temporary factory jobs or in Kitchens, and I would actually like to make use of the degree that I have worked hard to obtain, but I have no clue where to even begin.

Answer 1

My apologies to the person who suggested teaching, but you cannot teach in the public school, much less college, without the miniumum of a Bachelor's Degree. Most community colleges require a Master's Degree with at least 18 hours above in your specialty field; most colleges and universities require a doctorate or the equivalent. I would encourage the questioner to continue to pursue his Bachelor's Degree; now it is possible to do the last two years at any of several accredited online institutions at one's convenience while holding down a full-time job. If the questioner hasn't already done so, I would suggest an aptitute test to discover his areas of interest. Social Science is a very broad area incorporating history, government, social work, anthropology, psychology, and sociology, to name a few. His state's Department of Human and Social Services might be a good place to begin.

Answer 2

Teach.
Take your degree to a state school and become a college professor. It is one of the best careers of 2007. By being a teacher, you'll be able to fully utilize that degree and enhance your own knowledge in it. Plus, if you go teach at a good state school, you can be funded to do research. Good luck!

By the way, if you're not too hyped up on the idea of a professor, then there are 25 more "Best Careers" on the link.

Answer 3

Continue on and get a Bachelor's.. Even Bachelor's degrees are becoming a dime a dozen these days..
