What types of jobs are available if you have a degree in sociology?

Answer 1

social worker,consulor

Answer 2

I am a junior in Sociology and I want to research my region's social structure and be a consultant for either local government, a think-tank, a non-profit that works in advocacy, fundraising, economic development, urban planning or policy making.

Not enough institutions that work intimately with the public understand sociology when they make decisions. It is what leads to so many failed policies. If one doesn't want to work with implimenting social thoery, you could always do research for universities or teach.... Hmmm... And there is the question of what type of sociology:

Organization: Corportations pay big money for organization consultants and motivatiors to redesign their structures, policies and goals for more effective production.

Crime: Criminology majors work in all that profiling and forensics stuff.

Political: Campaigns of every sort work best when people with knowledge on social behavior are the strategists behind them.

Economic: Anyone who cares about the economy should take sociolgy in school and hire a sociologist in their union. Sociology + Marketing = Ultimate Mind Control. lol

Family: Social workers and all the people who work with familys are sociologically trained.

Yeah.... That's what I got. ^____^

Answer 3

For some people, working with families in direct services is the most satisfying possible job option. Others will be most excited by being involved with policy shaping, or program evaluation. Some will go directly to work in county or state agencies; while still others will use their education as a background to understand how social institutions such as public education or business organizations interact with individuals and with families. Yet others of you might seek education or training in areas quite different from direct service, such as management or marketing in the health field.

So I would say that a social worker, a teacher or a psychologist.
