Anything you would like, pretty much. Unless you are interested in a specialized occupation (doctor, dentist, technician, etc.) a degree in the social sciences - including sociology - is very versatile. Because sociology focuses on the structure of human society, the way organizations work, how people interact, etc. it is very conducive to careers that have to do with people. Social work is the most stereotypical option, but management and administration, public relations, marketing, quality assurance, labor organization, counseling, political advocacy, supervisory positions, journalism, education, and work with non-profits are all things I can think of off the top of my head in which a sociology background would be helpful. A degree in sociology is also a great jumping off point for post-graduate education: graduate programs in the social sciences and humanities and law schools are happy to accept individuals with degrees in sociology.
Maybe your question would be better phrased, what can't you do with a degree in sociology? ; ) But, I'm biased...

actually, a lot of fortune 500 companies like to hire grads of sociology and psychology...especially in management...it gives them an edge on understanding how social groups act in particular environments and also they like to use the types of grads with training positions.
there are opportunities out here beyond the world of social work.

Join liberal/humanist organizations and blame society rather than the individual for all of societies ills.
