What jobs can you get with a bachelor's degree in sociology?

Answer

pretty much nothing.

You could teach sociology or get a job with the government if your uncle is the governor.

Granted there are a number of jobs that are easier to get with any university degree.

Answer

A degree in Sociology is what you make out of it. You can market the degree to employers in a variety of different ways. As a sociologist you are familiar with the study of trends in a population's size, attitudes, beliefs, etc. which can be useful in many different business applications. You also are familiar with studies of human behavior and group behavior, this also has applications in the business world from management to human resources to assembling a task force for a project. You will find that many people may have misconceptions about a degree in sociology, it is up to you to market the degree as a useful set of skills that you will be able to apply to the job that you are seeking. If you enjoy the research aspect of sociology, get an advanced degree and teach at a university. This will allow you to have some level of freedom with your research. There are also job opportunities with corporate research firms. If you enjoy the human behavior aspect of sociology, you can get an advanced degree and become a marriage and family counselor, a juvenile counselor, etc. Sociology is an interesting field, and if you want to pursue it as a course of study, be prepared for the nay-sayers that will attempt to discredit it as a viable and useful degree. Good Luck. -written by a graduate of Western Kentucky University 2005 B.A. Sociology
