What kind of jobs can someone get with a degree in sociology?

I plan on taking some time off between my BA and postgraduate work in order to determine an area of concentration. What jobs will I be able to get with a BA?





What types of international careers are available to sociology graduates?

When you're in college, thinking about the job market, there are a few things you need to realize. One of them is that 99% or so of the jobs that require a degree do not require a specific major. Those that do tend to be in universities, or in K-12 teaching, where you need to have specific education classes anyway.





Another is that most employers are going to be more interested in the skills and abilities you bring to the workplace than the classes you take. I had a friend who was a straight-A student in philosophy and ancient history. When he decided grad school wasn't for him, it was a good thing he'd had those summer jobs programming graphics! Many college graduates find that it's not their GPA that gets them a good job, it's the stuff they learned to do in their spare time.





The next one is tough to swallow. If you're in your early twenties, you may find that the folks who didn't go to college, or just went a year or two, and have been working dead-end jobs since then, will be making about as much money as you do for several years. That's because employers value a combination of education and experience.





Folks with education but not much experience will not be highly valued, any more than folks with some experience, but not much education. The income gap shows up when you get older. US Census data shows that folks with advanced degrees in their 30s, 40s, and 50s make much more money than their same age counterparts with less education.





If you want an international career, go for international experience now. Nobody wants to hire somebody who has never lived outside the country, never had culture shock, for an important international position with a lot of responsibility (Once you've experienced culture shock, you'll understand why). But graduate schools in the social sciences are very interested in people who have lived in a foreign culture for a few years--even if you were just teaching conversational English in a cram school. You might check out the JET program and consider teaching English in regular Japanese schools.





If you can look around with your sociology training, once you figure out what you are looking at in the foreign culture, you can probably come up with a thesis topic to propose in a graduate school application. Once you've got that idea, you can research to find out who does that kind of work on graduate faculties.





You can contact those professors by e-mail, briefly outline your interests, and ask questions. In a way, professors are more interested in students who can take some guidance than students who have all the answers.





I've served on an admissions committee in a graduate department in the social sciences, so let me give you the inside scoop. In many social science departments, if you can't find a professor in the department who shares your interests and agrees to serve as your provisional advisor, you aren't getting in no matter how impressive your test scores or grades.
