What to do with my degree and personality?

Question

I have a BS in sociology and work as an insurance agent. I am not sure as to whether it is for me or not. I do like the products that I have to sell, BUT I am not very much of a people person. I feel wasted on 4 years of college and dont know what I want to do with my life. I am asking either for advice on careers with sociology degrees or advice on what to do to change my outlook. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

Here's a link for careers in sociology: http://www.abacon.com/socsite/careers.ht...

Also, go to this website and take the free and very accurate test to learn more about yourself:

     Once you've taken the test and have your 4-letter personality/temperament designator, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-brigg...  and scroll down to the paragraph titled: "Type dynamics and development" and look to the right at the rectangle titled "The Sixteen Types" and find your four-letter type and click on it, and read about yourself!  If you answered the questions on the test honestly and accurately, you'll be amazed at how well you're described!

Obviously, you don't like what you are doing.  Therefore, plan for  a change.  You could go back to school and get a masters or doctorate degree, which would open up more jobs for you, give you the most flexibility.

Save your money, so that you can easily make the move (whatever it is), financially.  But do research on the job--that is, any potential job you are considering.  Best: Talk to someone doing it, find out the details, both good and bad.
