Would I make more money with a Bachelors in Sociology or an Associates in a tech. feild like software engineer

Question

I almost have my AA and don't know whether it would be better to go ahead with sociology or go back and start tech. training. I've only heard discouraging things about jobs in sociology, and that's an understatement.

Answer 1

Tech.  What the heck would you do with a sociology degree?

Answer 2

That depends on where you want to live. Have you searched for a demand for those things..and if so...big city..small town? Geographics make a big difference. You could make a lot of money working on tractors if you lived in the country. It doesn't take a college degree to figure that out.

Answer 3

The Sociology Bachelors will only help make money if you go on the Graduate school in a field, such as Law, PHD in Psychology, MSW in Social Work, MBA etc. It is relatively worthless in its own right as far as money goes.

Answer 4

Accosiat is more immediate and reliable, but bachelor in sociaolagy could over time provide more if you actuaky did find a job.
