Sociology jobs?
I'm giving a talk next week to the undergrads in my department on going to grad school in sociology (like: Should you go to grad school? How do you apply? What are schools looking for? etc.)
I'm trying to come up with a list of jobs that sociologists get. I'm trying to be realistic but also point out the range of options.
So far I've come up with:
MA
Sociology Instructor
Federal Government Research (Census, CDC, BLS, DOJ, DHS, CIA)
State and Local Government (Research, Social Services)
Non-Profits
Market Research
Public Opinion Research
Human Resources
Business Management
Law Enforcement [this one is kinda odd I know, but we have a crim concentration in our MA program here and a bunch of our graduates end up as local cops]
PhD
Sociology Professor
Postdoctoral Researcher
Think Tanks
Consulting
Same areas as with MA, with higher pay, higher level jobs
What am I leaving out? I'm specifically looking for jobs that a soc grad degree will help you get, or help you get higher pay in, not jobs you can get with a BA.
