Sociology has a wide range of applications and provides good preparation for a variety of careers. Many students who obtain advanced degrees teach Sociology in colleges and universities. The vast majority of majors with Bachelor's degrees in Sociology launch their careers in business and industry. Most Sociology majors find employment after graduation in areas such as community planning, employment counseling, marketing research, policy evaluation, program planning, rehabilitation counseling, environmental analysis, personnel management, labor relations, drug and alcohol abuse counseling, social work and health planning. Other graduates have taken jobs as computer analysts, journalists, legal assistants, management trainees, educational therapists, and resident directors.\n\nCareer opportunities in Sociology include the following fields and specialties:\nCommunity and Human Services (gerontologist, criminologist, hospital administrator, charity administrator, organizer)\nBusiness research (market analyst, population analyst, public opinion pollster, policy researcher, consumer researcher, data analyst, human resources or labor relations administrator)\nPublic relations (market researcher, economic analyst)\nGovernment (prison administrator, urban planner, affirmative action worker, law enforcement, census worker)\nEducation (teacher, trainer, legislator, admissions counselor) \n\nI hope this helps!

The best thing to do is to check with the college for this answer.\nMany colleges have a social worker degree available. \nAs a former foster parent, I dealt with SW's all the time, and it seemed that most of them had schooling in sociaology, psychology, etc.

There are many jobs and careers you can attain with this degree. The fact you have a degree will allow you to chose from many different jobs, within the justice system or without it in a different capacity.\n\nFor example: You could become a probation officer, a juvenile detention center worker, work at a jail or prison. Or you could get a job as a social worker, or many other positions.\n\nGo to your local colleges job service office. There you will find a computer which will spit out all types of jobs you can get with this degree. \n\nHowever, don't be afraid to go "outside the box". You would be surprised at how many career choices will be available for somebody who hold a B.A. or B. S. degree period, no matter what the major is.\n\nGood luck in finding a career where you will attain the most satisfaction and fulfillment. Much happiness always.

Sometimes a person may have a 2 year degree from a community college that is an applied science degree and if they work on their bs degree, they will receive a bs in applied science, because they already had a 2 year degree but not the required 2 years of general education courses one has to have.  A person who does not have an applied science degree in social scienes would receive a bs in social sciences, while a person who does have an applied science degree in social sciences would receive a bs of applied science in social sciences.

In my experience, a BA in Social Science isn't useful on it's own, except for a school teacher.  You would need a Master's degree in something more specific (Clinical Psychology, Counseling, Social Work) to really get anywhere.\n\nI recommend doing a career counseling program.  A good one involves psychological tests, lots of reading and studying about potential careers, and answering hard questions about yourself.  That will help with future plans.

Find another job that interest you.  I have a marketing degree and when I graduated in the late 80's there were no jobs.  So, I went in the non-profit, social services area.  There are a lot of people that have jobs that have nothing to do with their degrees.  Just find a job that you like with advancement opportunities.  I use my degree now, for my business and for various volunteer activities that I take part in...Good luck!

You will have to get at least a Bachelors Degree in social work before you can do it.  in the mean time, take social science classes in school, sociology, psychology, etc. you can also do volunteer work which will look really good on you in the long run.  things like mentoring children, crisis hotlines, disaster relief, shelters, etc.  That's my major as well and I wished I had done more volunteer work in the past.  Good luck!!!!

With a BA or BS in chemistry, you can get various jobs in the chemical industry.  Most of these jobs involve bench work.  With a MS in chemistry, you can get the same jobs paying more as well as jobs as the safety person in small college chemistry departments or teach at a community college.  With a PhD in chemistry, you can become a professor or work in the chemical industry.  You will be able to advance in your field and be promoted.  Degrees in physics are useful in similar jobs. There are also more non-traditional career paths.  If you don't like any of the options that I have listed, you should probably think about ways that science meets the public.  Water quality testing, perhaps.  Enviromental anything.

That will depend on where you obtain your graduate degree from.  They might require that you fulfill core classes more closely related to your social science degree.  Your best bet would be to speak to an advisor or someone at the school.
